I've been using WM2005 for 7 days now.
1. Upgraded to Active Sync 4.1 from 4.0, the syncing is more stable now. Still has some times when the Axim is placed in the USB cradle and no sync happens but when I take it out and re-seat it, ActiveSync runs then.
2. Active Sync is still a "persistent" program, runs in the background all the time. I have the 2200 battery so I can wait and charge it once a day.
3. 512 MB Sandisk CF card disappears once in a while, requires a soft reset to make it reappear.
Some problems but the benefits of the upgrade are more favorrable to me.
1. Wireless works better.
2. Better security for the PDA.
3. Contacts and Calender work better and are more convenient.
4. Better memory utilization for programs and files.
One thing I do wish, that Microsoft get rid of the dialup modem crap, error reporting, and media synching with WMP (DRM stuff, poorly implemented, not much use these days)
