I successfully did the upgrade from 06 to 12, and was having some trouble with the wi-fi and showing the proper strength and connection.

Aparently this is one of the numerous bugs with A12, and the Dell rep I spoke to, "Overseas Peter" and he said that Dell does not recomend the upgrade to A12, even though it is posted and will remain posted on their site.

He recomended to downgrade back to 04 or 06 rom, and I attempted that with no success. The Axim screen says "CAN'T DOWNGRADE IMAGE" and the next Dell rep advised me that downgrades cannot be done.

So if this is actually the case, and not just a "way out" for the rep to get rid of me, beware if you plan to upgrade, you won't be able to go back. They are sending me a replacement Axim with the 04 rom, I still have 8 days left under warranty.

Is this true, or is there a way to downgrade. I performed a hard reset and it says it is restoring the factory defaults, but still has the 12 rom loaded in.

Also, are there any significant reasons to have 12 vs 4 or 6 ????
