OK i too was looking forward to recieving my upgrade CD but now im not too fussed, today i had the opportunity to play with my m8's ipaq 5550 and was less than impressed with the "new" features of 03.

The picture program is ok but theres better out there, the new game is fun but hardly worth the effort, and the only real speed difference i noticed was with pocket ie which seemed to load pages alot quicker.

Bear in mind that the 5550 has 128mb of ram and a 255 processor on a 200mhz bus so should scream along compared to my old 250 processor and 100mhz bus but you know it didnt.

So for all those moaning at the delays with 03 just sit back relax and enjoy your lovely working ppc2002 axim and be very wary of upgrading unless you have a real need, by all means get the upgrade just for future proofing when all support for 2002 has dissappeared but dont rush to upgrade just to have the latest greatest OS, stick with working wireless cards and pocket mvp and all other programs that arent compatible with 03 yet i know i am!
