the patch will be in the form of a ROM update, a ROM update = a hard reset but the hard reset is software controlled and you dont push the hard reset button. During this type of a hard reset, the axim needs to be connected to your PC and the patch that dell releases will update the axim's firmware through the activesync connection, while performing a hard reset.

In my opinion, its not worth sending it back because you have to do a ROM update, either way you lose data you havent backed up. It's not worth the hassle of a return and getting a new one over waiting maybe 10 minutes to do your ROM update. Each has its own risks.
