Virtually everything I've learned about my x51v I have learned on this forum.
All new x51v owners should check out the tutorials and WM5 tips and tricks here on aximsite. These are great tools and have invaluable information.
Thanks aximsite!!

I think there definately needs to be a distinction drawn between the x51 and the x50 series of Axims with WM5.
Although I do not have one, from what I read on the forums the x51 with the latest ROM should not really have any issues that the fake server trick does not fix (and then only if the constant attempts to sync worry you) or are not software compatibility related.
The x50 series does, however, have some pretty series issues when running WM5 - most of them related to the different type of ROM used and the filesys.exe compaction thread that is necessary. For me, and I know others have different experiences, the application of v10 of
SHSMITH's excellent patch has pretty much cured this for me. My remaining problems mainly relate to the fact that the x50 WM5 rom lacks any of the more general updates/fixes found in the later roms as supplied for the x51.
I still live in hope that Dell
will release a new x50 rom - but I do really expect it...
