I had to set the name of my device back to my preferred name and re-sync on both occasions.

Has anyone else see this behaviour? If not why! Did I do something wrong?
I have seen this happen remotely (I was on the phone walking my Dad through setting up his X51v). It named the Axim "WM_Mr_Thomas", where "Mr Thomas" is his user name on the PC.

It hasn't happened to me. This might be because each time I have done a ROM upgrade (on an X50v and now an X51v), the first thing I do is set the device name as I want it (it seems to default to Pocket_PC after a hard reset, and I unimaginatively call it X51v).
