Hello!

I got from eBay a nice 2nd hand x50v , and now I read that it has problems when upgrading to Windows Mobile 5.0 ... is this still true?? or are the issues resolved now? do you suggest to to the upgrade or no? are there programs that really require 5.0 ? although I guess 5.0 will be more nice than 2003SE...
I am a total newbie in PDA's

Thanx! :)

You have to own the wm5 upgrade CD to be able to upgrade to wm5. If it didn't come with your x50v then you would have to buy it. So far the bugs have not been worked out to where the x50v is running efficiently on wm5. I would suggest reading the postings to see more information on this subject. I would recommend that you stay with wm2003se and enjoy your axim. Most software available currently will work on your unit. Future software may be limited but I would think for some time the software will be useable on either operating system.

btw, is there somewhere a site that compares 2003se and WM5 ???
