Mobility Site - View Single Post - What a long-awaited ripoff?

I must admit I'm a lot disenchanted with the new Windows Mobile 5. I started installing it and all my applications today around 10:00 a.m. and it's now 2:40 p.m. and I'm just starting to finish.

First of all, expect your axim to be slow, slow, slow after the change to WM5. It takes over your BIS and only uses RAM to run the applications. So far, I didn't think that would make that much difference, but was I wrong (I have an Axim X50v).

All this hoopla and extra money that I've paid for apps to run in WM5 was just a load of you-know-what. There is almost nothing that different about WM5 except for the persistent memory. If that's what you need, then go for it. Otherwise, save your $$$ and headache.

Just my first thoughts.

Best,
Scotty
