I did not have to hard-reset the device but bad enough. After this memory error I was using Google quite a time to read that WM5 on a X50 isn't the best idea. I even called Dell where a not very helpful guy told me that there could (that was when I started to cry!  ) be problems with a X50 and the WM5 update. He was not able to offer me cash back for the upgrade I had to pay (about 30 US$) and simpley told me that I better downgrade. He then sent me an email.
I was really thinking about downgrading but this isn't possible!  The URL I got points to a English update file (website shows up in German language). I then started searching for a German version when I noticed that I cannot downgrade from German to English. Nothing, no German downgrade file available!!! I hate Dell. I bought the handheld there, I bought the upgrade there and I get offered nothing than a useless downgrade file after the upgrade left the handheld nearly unusable. GREAT!!! 
Is there anything I can do making WM5 working better on my handheld?
Will there be updates where the problems get fixed? And when?
I read that it is possible to install WM5 on a X50 without getting any problems after that:
Newsgroup via Google
WM5 - I'm sold!
It seems that the guy made it. Hmmmm. I write him an email but did not get an answer. I'm staying tuned.
Well but I cannot downgrade so I cannot test what he suggests.
Has anybody any idea for me? 
Thank you!
