Question Just patch 2002 with V03 or goto 2003?

I'm debating on whether I should just stick with 2002 and patch it to A03, mines at A00 right now. And wait about six months for the 2003 to get updated and fixed.

Or just go ahead and purchase the 2003 upgrade now, and live with whatever bugs or new problems it has.

Is the 2003 better than 2002? I'm not doing any type of networking with my Axim, right now anyways.

Thanks in advance

All I can say is if you play games , I'd go with 2003, serious performance increases 2x-4x in many cases. Downfalls is its incompatabilities with some older programs.

i have both (a new axim and an old patched). The patched a03 2002 works so much better. Added to the fact that a lot of my apps still dont work and are waiting for updates.

Just my personal view...

If you're really into gaming, watching videos, or browsing the Internet, upgrade to WM2003. Otherwise, it's probably not worth it. WM2003 currently has more bugs than PPC2002. Plus, a lot of apps either don't work or have weird quirks on WM2003. These may be fixed in the future and future apps may only work well with WM2003, but not for now.
