The simple facts here are that there are a LOT of issues running WM5 on our Axims. Some of them are problems in the build that Dell created, and some of them are in the OS itself. There are a lot of hacks/workarounds listed on this forum that provide some relief, but there aren't any real solutions at this point.
In the coming months Dell will continue to fix the problems at their level, and MS has committed to releasing fixes/updates for the OS. At some point this will all come together -- the OS, the Dell build, and the updated 3rd party applications. Its the same thing that happened with the x30's when they first came out. The whole 'landscape' feature was wreaking havoc with everything, and it took time for all of the parts to mesh again. Now, WM2003 SE is a very stable platform and works almost flawlessly.
The best thing to do at this point, assuming you need your Axim to be functional, is to go back to WM2003. That OS is really at its "sweet spot" right now - all current applications have been updated for it, and there are very few real problems. And "downgrading" doesn't necessarily take you out of the game; this forum is always going to be full of posts from those of us who keep hacking at WM5. You can follow the progress through the posts, and jump back in when more of these issues have been resolved.
