I am a legitimate bugged wm2003 user who didn't have chance to dl the patch and while i suspect that i could probably find it to download it, has their been any cases were the patch has actually completely f*cked up an axim? i.e it wont boot etc, as i can't be arsed to wait another month for Dell to get their act together and i'm thinking of maybe finding the patch and using it.

cheers

There are several reports that installing the patch totally f'ed the Axim. Most of those, however, were from people attempting to upgrade. I think that the largest issue was with several legit users not being able to install.

Wrong. Most of them are from people using the patch the normal way. In fact, over all (not just here), I see more people claiming success with the cracked one than the normal one.

chances are that if it fails, you'll still be able to successfully return to the extremely sluggish A04 (i've had to go back at least 10 times). however, i have read a few posts where other people have said they could not restore A04.

good luck!

I had three Axim 300s that I wanted to upgrade. The first one I botched by interupting the process. The other two upgrades went without a hitch.

Have an Axim day!

My patch applied fine...

I remember reading some posts (not sure if it was here or not) about performing a hard reset and removing both batteries for 10 minutes prior to patching... not sure if they are what made my patch flawless or what, but it worked fine.

weigh the options...
