The Dell one is X50/v specific. So it won't even work with the X51/v

You'd need the downgrade specific to your model. If it came as a wm5 device (and hasn't been upgraded from wm2003) then the chances of downgrading are very very very small

It came as a wm 5 model. So that is all it can run. The rx1900 series have very limited memory, so try to run it with as few today plug ins and battery meters as possible. I found it to be one of the more stable WM5 devices out there as long as you watch your memory usage.

still I say wm5 sucks need updates

The problem isn't strictly WM5 here - it's the lack of executable RAM that the 1950 offers, as whoever decided to give it 32MB of RAM only seems to have forgotten that you can't allocate 'storage' and 'program' space anymore... which results in the issues you mentioned here. It has no WM2003SE downgrade, since it originally shipped with WM5, and you're probably better off returning the rx1950 if you bought it and getting a better machine instead.

WM5's not the unstable mess that most people have made it out to be - at least, not compared to some of the desktop releases. :D However... the 1950's a piece of junk, to put it kindly. I don't know what they were thinking when they came out with the specifications for that.

if return is possible, please do so, get yourself a vga devices , you will be happier, don't think there is a downgrade,

If you want WM2003SE, try finding an old x50v. Plus, you get the Widcomm/Broadcomm BT stack which came with your rx1950 instead of the crippled Microsoft one from WM5 and the x51v... and it'll probably cost the same for that x50v as for the rx1950, since the former's an older machine.
