What a piece of junk and a huge waste of my time. I spent 2 days trying to make this work and found nothing but problems.

Especially with 1-Pass (http://www.omegaone.com/pass/default.htm)
It caused the whole thing to lock up, asking for the Windows Mobile password (of which none was set). Had to to a HARD RESET to clear everything out.

Re-installed WM5 and ActiveSync again, and tried to use Pocket Informant (release for WM5). It kept producing Windows errors.

WM2003 was working just fine with no problems. What a huge waste of time. Save yourself, Don't upgrade til they get it right.

I agree. I put WM5 out of its misery tonight and went back to 2003se. The Axim seems like a speed demon now, compared to the crippled, arthritic beast it was while trying to run WM5.

Maybe they'll get it right a ROM or two down the line.

Did a Full Restore to my previous WM2003

I am so much happier. I have so much more appreciation for it now that I tried and failed miserably with WM5. It is so nice that it actually works!

ok my wo5 sucks too, what the best way to upgrade it back to 2003se?

There is a utility download on dell.com to downgrade the X50v to WM2003SE

hope the link works, if not, search for it it is called:
Dell Axim X50v VGA System ROM Reinstallation from Windows Mobile 5.0 to Windows Mobile 2003 SE

I would hang on to the CDs for when the proper upgrades are available or you might regret misplacing them or sending them back.

You have already spent your 2 cents and I do not accept credit
