Aloha to all!!

Well...after many trials to get on the net..I'm finally thinking of giving the A03 ROM update a try...

But after checking out DELL downloads...I found quiet a few files??

1. Can someone explain them to me...and does the 27MB A03 contain ALL the updates??

R58550.EXE : A02 27MB
R59756.EXE : A03 27MB
R59395.EXE : IrDA fix 157KB (what's that...infra red??)
R59758.EXE : ??? 448KB

2. So, what's this LATEST R59758? It Says in the info: "New and improved features" for A03 ROM

Is it like a patch for the original A03??

3. I have NO CF or SD card.....and all my programs are on my Axim...I guess i will lose ALL my data on it??

4. So...right now I am doing a FULL BACKUP to my PC using active sync ( painfully slow!! :rolling: ). Will i be able to RESTORE ALL MY FILES after the rom update using active sync and my PC.

5. And , had I a CF or SD card...could I have done a full backup to it?? Would it be FASTER??

6. And I've seen many programs and software on "Pocket PC thoughts " for data backup...and they're not cheap...what's their advantage over the regular backup i'm doing now??

Thanks.....:crooked:
