After a hard reset and several subsequent soft resets, I found that the total failure to boot was caused by inserting an unreadable 256MB SD card. Once booted, inserting this card caused the entire system to freeze. Other SD cards are readable in the Axim, and the failing one is not readable in my older iPaq. For comparison though, my 3 year old iPaq does not crash when I insert an unreadable card, it simply does not show it in the file explorer.

I will stick with the upgrade for the rest of the week and continue reporting my results in hopes that Dell developers and/or support people are listening. If I don't get any positive feedback with workarounds or solutions to avoid these problems booting the device, then, sadly, I'll have to downgrade back to WM2003SE. I would very much like to make WM5 work though, as I'm a software developer and appreciate having a non-phone WM5 device for development testing and support purposes.
