I've been on it for 3 weeks now. Had most of the same bumpy starts as everyone else seems to have had. Have taken advantage of most of the tweaks and suggestions made. Yet I still have to soft reset at least once a day and have had to do 3 or 4 hard resets. WM5 ate (deleted all the data) from my SD and CF cards once. Now I back up after almost every change and then copy the flash cards to my desktop hard drive.
I have stuck it out so far, but find more and more software that does not work under WM5, and do not see that many improvements in either functionality or speed. Battery life may be slightly better, but since I have a spare battery and recharge every day, that's not a major thing. Battery life while using wireless is still terrible.
Seeing the fix for X51V, I do not expect to see a lot more in the constantly rumored fix for X50V. It does not address most of the issues reported here. I will probably stick with WM5 until I see the update and hear reports from others. If it doesn't seem to improve things much, I'll probably downgrade back to 2003SE until things imporve. After all, it was working quite well and doing everything I wanted to do with it.
