Mobility Site - View Single Post - 2 down and 3 to go before I end up with 5

I'm pretty much with you on that... except I had to wait for the sprite beta to backup my WM5 before I could go back to 2003SE.

Actually I am starting to go off WM5 even more now. I liked the navigation softbuttons and the cool new additions to the built in software. The native WM5 GAPI is also much more solid and I never got graphics glitches - but then it ran about the same speed as the GAPI tweak 2 does at a 200mhz CPU setting.

The real dealbreaker for me is that I mainly upgraded to WM5 to get more free memory - none of the RAM is used for storage any more so it will all be program memory right? In practice the OS takes away my BIS and still leaves me with less RAM to play with. I doubt that's something they'll ever fix.

Oh and we still can't go 3 weeks without the battery running out and losing data, because they don't allow the x50v to go into full sleep mode. Mind you, we can do a sprite backup to SD card and then pull the battery out. It can go a few months without use, then stick the battery in, restore the sprite backup, and it's good to go with nothing lost.
