Mobility Site - View Single Post - Axim X50 QVGA: Can't upgrade from A03 to A05

I use Destinator PN with a Holux GR-231. every now and then, with increasing frequency, the software goes amok.
The Holux is quite new, less than a year old, and the software is installed correctly.
I see several possibilities:
A) something wrong/corrupted with my OS/BT stack.
B) something wrong with my GPS.
C) different installed softwares that somehow collide.

I've tried using another GPS and had no problems.
I also loaned my GPS to a friend (who also has an X50 mid, but with ROM A04) and he had no problems.
I also reinstalled the map software and recreated the link between the X50 and the GPS.
Then I used my own GPS for a while and had no problems until now (as I said, it happens irregularly)

I think it's easier to upgrade the ROM rather than buying a new GPS. I read in Dell's site that this ROM includes a better BT stack. This is why I want to upgrade.
