Mobility Site - View Single Post - Good-Bye WM 5.0 & ActiveSync 4.0; Hello WM 2003 SE & Active Sync 3.8

After a week of nightmarish behaviors and anomalies with WM 5 and ActiveSync 4.0, I have decided to re-flash with the 2003 SE download available on the Dell site.

It is sure nice to have a stable platform again!

What a waste of time and money the upgrade effort has been. ActiveSync was never better than extremely inconsistent, While WM 5.0 required a reset almost every night and this memory issue it suffered would drain the battery.

Far too early of a release for 5.0 or not enough backwards compatibility testing, but this is the worst upgrade experience that I have ever endeavored.
