WM5 pet peeves

I hate the fact that I USED to change from keyboard to transcriber by pressing the arrow to the side of the keyboard why remove it?

I USED to change from day to month view in calendar in one button press now I have to scroll through three modes I never use

Why do I have TWO lines at the bottom of the screen as well as the menu bar at the top what was wrong with signal strength and BT icons where they were? Can I change back PLEASE?
While were at it just put it all at the top and allow me to select which ones show like inactive icons in XP

This bottom bar is because of soft key use in phones, fine I don't have a phone or soft keys why can't I turn it off and regain valuable real estate?

ontacts are now on two lines bold name followed by number/email underneath

I can't move shortcuts out of programs if they are from the WM5 I like just my main progs in there and terminal services client is irrelevant to me

my .tsk file skins don't work
does anybody know why?
And theres no help or tool to generate a theme either?

I love my old black theme with white text give it back now M$

I LOVE my new X51V I just wish when they changed such basic things they gave you the option to have them the old way
gave up on x51v due to lack of bluetooth
ext bat and 4xAA batt extender...I have accessories coming out of my ears including about 18Gb of CF and SD cards (photographer)

I think you meant to put this in the WM5 forum, right? (Moved...)

Those do seem like disappointments, I will probably feel the same way as you do!

Are there any changes you really like?

My biggest pet peeve is you can't resize icons in Home to list lines. This is so annoying. I have to page through 5 screens to get to the programs that begin with "W" !! Argh!! At least with the Palm OS, one could change from icons to lines.

Wow, these are all horrible "features." Guess I'll be waiting for WM5 SE. I have WM2003SE setup on my Axe EXACTLY the way I want. I would lose my mind if I had to deal with this mess.

In the Calendar program you can hit Menu, View to change views instead of hitting the bottom left button 3 times. A little bit better, but I still like the old way.
