my experiences
I spent a couple hours monday doing the upgrade on my x50v. Everything went fine. Installed a few basic apps and it looked ok. Yesterday morning it locked up with the "memory error" message and after any kind of soft- or hard-reset, mine hangs at about 30% of the bootup progress bar. I left it overnight in the cradle and it never moved past that part. I've removed the battery and charged it separately, while leaving the ax to die a slow death with no battery for a good half day. Same results when I reset.
This was my experimental device, so it's not as critical as it would be for alot of people, but for now I'm expecting the worst and that it is DEAD. Too bad too because I really liked the new OS performance-wise and it was definitely a smoother setup with the sync between my home and work computers. Although for the life of me, I can't understand why the "upgrade" to WM5 causes me to lose the feature of wireless sync (but that's another rant I suppose).
I chatted with Dell support today and they said there is a upgrade being release for download on the dell site on 11/18. It sounded like they are being flooded with issues on this (obviously). My concern is how the HELL am I going to flash the rom when the thing won't even boot up!?!?!
Another casualty in the great WM5 masacre,
Erik
