The X5 upgrade to WM2003 was in the region of US$30 I think.

Question, if I do not get the upgrade, I damn sure will though, how do they put out new ROMs? Do they distribute one for 2k3 and one for 5? This confuses me. If it were a free upgrade then they would only need one OS to enhance on.

Yeah. 2003 was $30, so I would expect it to be about 30 too.
^_^ great stuff. Will force those companies to support VGA and the new os now.

HP are as well :approve:

And a larger user base will mean that a lot of software manufacturers will now be getting to work on upgrading their ranges :approve:

IMHO, it will more probably be around $50 (more people use PPC, they raise prices... Go figure )

How will the upgrade handle legacy apps?

I mean, I'm not upgrading to find that Resco Explorer, Pocket Informant, et al, doesn't work anymore

Im glad to pay 30$ for an upgrade! I just hope the whole thing doesnt turn into vaporware like it did when Asus renegged on thier promise of a 2003SE upgrade for the A716....

pdahound

I am sure most of us would buy the upgrade without batting an eye. What would you pay for the upgrade?

Skawrpion

Nice, i knew moving from HP to Dell would have paid off, my hat's off for Dell for keeping the customer happy, i know I am!! :approve:
Hope HP has learned something from this,but I do hate to say it I hope Dell does not change their mind later down the road.

I only hope it costs $30 Like I paid for my X5 upgrade to 2003.

Frenchy, I just got to know "Are you French?"

well I admit it.. I was expecting today to be a non-event... and then not to be able to upgrade anyway. But this is good news all round... now all i have to do is wait for the cd to go on sale

I would pay $35 for an upgrade without hearing reviews on bugs or if it even changes anything. $50 I would have to keep my eyes out to see if the upgrade is worth it. God forbid that I would need to put my parrot on my shoulder and wear an eye patch

In all honesty I'm pretty happy with the X50v right now. I guess I'll wait for the actual reviews of the update from Dell to see if it's worth upgrading.
