Is Axim X50-Low Upgradable to WM5?

BellTone · 10-14-05, 12:44 PM

Just wondering if my X50 Low (64MB) is upgradable to the upcoming Windows Mobile 5 release.

I'm wondering if the memory is too low for it. I've seen mixed information.

Thanks for your help.

I know that the x50-Mid is upgradeable, so I would think the low is, as they are only different in the processor speed, right? If not, then you might want to contact Dell and ask them.

It's my understanding that all X50s are upgradeable.

The X50 low only had 64MB memory, whereas I think the mid and high had 128MB memory. That's the reason I'm worried. I have a feeling that it's not enough from the non-Dell and non-MS reviews that I've read.

Anyone know if the Axim X50 basic is able to receive Windows Mobile 5.0 ?

Anyone know for sure if it will be upgradeable?

Still no clear answer on this. Anyone know yet if 64MB is enough for WM5 and the Axim X50 low?

It sure is enough. 64MB is the baseline requirement for Windows Mobile 5.0...and yes, the entire X50 series is able to be upgraded to the new OS.
