I had the same memory problem for the first time tonight. After WM5 destroyed everything including all the data on both my SD and CF cards a couple of weeks ago, I decided to bite the bullet and try again, this time doing backups to the SD card and copying the SD and CF cards to my desktop PC after making any system changes. I did not reinstall SPB Pocket Plus 2 which seemed to have caused the original problem.

Since reinstalling WM5, I have had to do one hard restore (not too difficult with the backups) and many soft restores. But, everything has been running pretty well and speeds are fine (slow after a hard reset, but then it seems to speed up preety quickly after a little use).

However, this was the first time I had the "memory" problem. AXIM would not turn on and it would not soft reset. I removed the battery for a few seconds and then reinstalled it. Got the "low battery" critical message, immediately followed by the "memory error" screen. Instruction said to press the contacts button and if it didn't work to do a hard reset. Forunately it worked, but the low battery error message came up again. I switched batteries and the same thing happend. I proceeded anyway and went to power setting and the battery showed 98%, I then switched again and batteries again and the original battery was at 100%. (The AXIM had been in the cradle when it would not turn on the first time).
