Hi!
I am about to buy a Axim x50mid and collecting last informations.
What seems to be a really big problem is the fact, that there is actually no german rom-update till now (still at version a00).
According to this post:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=76975
someone managed to update his french x50v with the english rom.
As i doubt that there are hardware differences between the english and german x50 versions this should most likely (hopefully) be possible, too...
Buuut: besides the language (which shouldn't be a problem): will there be other problems? What about german characters ( ? ) like "ö,ä,ü,ß" etc.. Will these still be available? Any problems with time-zones or german applications to be expected?

Or should I just try to directly get the english version?
(Can't do that directly from Dell so this is a little more problematic (but possible))

Greetings,
Mathias
