All my apps are installed in my SD, so after the upgrade, I only need to create a ".LNK" for each of my apps to the Program group.

This is mostly Win Mobile 5 (OS) improvement. I 've the A06 upgrade for >3 weeks now. Improvement that I experienced:
1. Registry changes can be implemented instantly; without On/Off or soft reset.
2. No more white screen syndrome: IE displays a Blank Page while it uses an HTTP 1.0 request in a WinInet application.
3. IE & wireless networking/security (SSL, 128-bit encryption): I can do my wireless banking transaction on my X51V now.
4. No need to tweak registry to acescs web sites (bank) that require IE6 or "https". Can visit these sites with original Win CE (IE4) setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent:
Subkey "Version=MSIE 4.01"
5. No more On/Off button that require soft reset.
6. Power up sequence faster, i.e. The Start menu comes on almost instantly.
7. Switching between tasks - almost instant.
8. You can Send/Receive (Messaging) all mails (Exchange Server, your ISP, hotmail) thru WiFi internet on your X51V - a real pda.
9. You can configure Pocket IE (thru Registry) to store INDEX.DAT to the SD card instead of having it on ROM. There are 3 Index.dat files that ''grow'' in your ROM as you browse the internet even if you delete the cookies and the temporary internet files. Check Microsoft article KB322916 (they acknowledged the problem but they don't teach you how to fix it). http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=322916
Over time, your pda will become slow. Check these folders for Index.dat (original 16 KB) in your pda & you'll know what I mean:
• \Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files
• \Windows\Profiles\guest\Cookies
• \Windows\Profiles\guest\History

Note: On desktop, these files reside on the harddrive, it's never an issue.

I've never use Odyssey for my X51V WiFi; I deleted Odyssey except the ROM portion. You do not want to have 2 clients ACTIVE on your pda while on WiFi. Imagine what it is like when U have 2 people talking to U when U are trying to talk to someone.

WEP encryption (64-bit) is more than sufficient. The range is too short for someone to snoop. I never have WiFi problem.

I never have to sync. All my emails (hotmail, my ISP, work) go straight onto my pda.
