You definitely want to re-install all your apps and info after doing a ROM upgrade. Restoring a backup to a new ROM can lead to all kinds of unexpected issues and conflicts. What I have found in my personal experience is that if you just backup your PIM info and restore it no problems arise. Is the upgrade worth it? Well that's up to you to decide. If you're happy with the way your device is working now then don't upgrade. The best thing to do is read the documentaion about the upgrade and see if there's anything in it that addresses some problem you've been having. In the case of the Dell Axim X3 System Update Utility for Windows Mobile 2003 have you been having prblems maintaining a USB connection? If you have then this update is for you.

Restoring Programs is actually quite easy if you used activesynce to install them.
