I've got a Axim 400 (PXA250) and was wondering if I should upgrade to PPC 2003 or should I wait ?
Am quite happy with 2002 but would like to see if it would run faster, as a few people have mentioned as I use mine mainly for GPS And I love upgrading ![]() Do you think it's worth it, £23 and delivery seems to be fairly quick (I hope) | |||||

I upgraded my Axim 400 (PXA250) with WM2003 yesterday and there is very little noticable speed differences. There
The only good thing I found was the change on context type searching of contacts. I wouldn't "buy" this upgrade. | |||

it's 29 bucks. Whether it's worth it is up to you. Once the WM2k3 only programs begin to make their appearance, you'll suddenly see things in a different light and wish you had upgraded. M$ will make sure of that. The differences in architecture are considerable, and Win CE.NET is really a lot more powerful than Win CE 3.0 (on which PPC2k2 is based).
On a more practical approach, the Dell implementation is still not quite up to par with their competition. Quote:

NDIS 4.0 has not wireless support and consequently, every manufacturer did things differently which makes it a major pain in the ass for any programmer trying to work with that stuff. | ||||

Yes, upgrade to 2003, it is faster than 2002 even on the PXA-250. Multimedia has been improved, I can play SNES roms at a playable rate now, even the built-in apps load faster. Most developers have been releasing updates for their software to be 2003 compatable too.
