Many people have done it without any problems. The main 'issues' you may run into are some programs and device drivers for PPC02 do not run properly on WM03. In some cases it's as simple as downloading a new version but some of these have never been upgraded and others charge you for the new version. There are several threads in the Microsoft Mobile 2003 forum that discusses the software issues but make sure you look at the dates of the posts since they go back to the first release of WM03. Some software suggested to not be compatable may have been upgraded since the post was made.

Some of us haven't bothered to spend the $30 to upgrade our X5s. If you are still undecided and you have the X5 advanced, you might considered applying the free ROM upgrade for PPC02 to A04 if you haven't already. It makes some improvements to the earlier ROMs of PPC02.
