I have downgraded back to 2003SE. It may be my imagination, but my X50V loses power a lot faster than I thought it used to when on 2003SE before I went to WM 2005. At first I thought this was just true when the system was idle. That would be understandable. However, it is definitely going down faster even when listening to audiobooks with the backlight display off.

So, either WM 2005 is significantly better on battery usage than WM 2004SE or the act of going to 2005 and then downgrading to 2003SE later did something strange. One thing that is different is that I was previously on A04, but the downgrade places you at A05 for WM 2003SE.
