I tried so hard to like WM5. I did all the tweaks and kept telling myself it's working great. Then I installed Kasparov Chessmate and that's when I finally gave up. The game worked fine, but if I ever played it and then turned off the PDA, I couldn't get it back on without a soft reset! It didn't happen all the time, but enough to become very annoying. It got even worse. It seemed like every time I'd restart, it would run very slowly for several minutes and then start working ok.

There are just too many issues with WM5 and there are not enough advantages to keep it over WM2003. "Downgrading" (more like UPGRADING!) went very smoothly and now my X50 is happy once again. I miss the ability to store large DRM audiobooks on my SD card, but that's about it. I love regaining the memory management capabilities that WM2003 has.

There's no way I'll go back to WM5 until I'm assured it's totally stable and runs well.
