Bought my Axim in May !

Hi,

Ok, here's my problem:

I bought my Axim through Dell Canada web site last May. I call them when I heard that Microsoft was releasing MM2003, and they said that I would be eligible to get a free upgrade. But so far, many problems occured with Dell and MM2003.

Question: Am I gonna get the upgrade automatically ? Do I have to do something to get it ?

And of course, is it a good idea to upgrade to MM2003 ? I use PPC2002 and have no problem yet. Many softwares are compatible wit PPC02, but they don't say a word about MM2003!

I've been using Palm for the last 3 years, and couldn't upgrade. But now...

Any comments there ???

Thanks guys and girls...

Michel

I'd get them to send out the CD and then you have a licence to the software. If you choose to install it or not is up to you. But the A05 patch seems to be good.
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

Yes.. I am wondering the same thing. Bought mine May 24 and I'm in the US. I havn't heard anything from Dell.

Last time I spoke to a Dell CSR (May 30) about getting the upgrade, they said that I would get a coupon in the box for a free upgrade. Sheesh.. what lying little #$@#!.

So, here I am... wondering.....

I guess they'll look after their non paying customers last. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until they've sorted out the entire upgrade / patch mess.

You must have had a Handspring. Most of the Palms had flash ROM, same as the Axim..albeit not 48MB.

Yep if you don't call them they won't call you and ask you if you want the free upgrade.
