I was so happy initially to get WM5 on X50v in November, after reading several people having issues just installing it. At that time, people were already complaining how bad it was. I figured "hey, I'm pretty technical, I'll figure it all out".

Nope.

Like someone else mentioned, my Axim went from a useful tool that got use nearly every day to a joke. When I pulled it out, I could feel how warm it was, and knew it had run down the battery. If you installed anything on it at all, it slowed to a crawl. The Bluetooth stack is a joke, but I got DUN and my GPS working on it ok.

I eventually got fed up, and rolled it back a long time ago. It's back to being used nearly every day, and I don't have to soft reset the thing for weeks at a time. Even when I do, it's rarely for a lock-up problem, but just a way to free up lost memory.

I just don't understand how Dell can have this attitude that nothing is wrong. Why has a Pocket PC magazine not picked up this story and look into it? Or are they in the "pocket" of these manufacturers?
