Free upgrade?? WHAT free upgrade?!

I've been on hold with Dell for 1 hour, only to be transfered 6 times, and disconnected twice, then asked if my Axim was purchased between 5/23, and 6/22 (which it was), then told that the software was not free. This is really bugging me. Can anyone clear up the confusion?? I thought Dell had excellent customer service! I'd hate to see what POOR customer service was!

If you did purchse it between those dates, it should be free.

All Axims purchased after May 23, 2003 will be eligible for a free upgrade to Pocket PC 2003.

They are supposed to have excellent customer service, but many of us have yet to see it. And yes, the upgrade is free if you purchased after 5/23. From what I have read on the board, you have to wait til after 7/15 to order (dunno why, though).

Dell in the U.S. is probably having difficulty obtaining more licences and/or copies for other reasons.

I would say contact Dell Customer Sales at 1-800-915-3355. They should be able to verify that you deserve the free upgrade in their system if you purchased the Axim through them.

This may help you a bit. It is directly from a Dell Moderator (Rollie):
Re: Pocket PC 2003 Upgrade

Also Microsoft has stated that:
Quote:
If you purchased your Pocket PC after May 23, 2003, you may be eligible to upgrade (for just the cost of shipping and handling) if your manufacturer is making an upgrade available. If you purchased your Pocket PC before the May 23rd date, an upgrade may be available from your manufacturer for a nominal fee.
