Has anyone tried to use A04 on an updated X50?

From reading the article you linked to, it appears AKU2 is an addition to WM5 that OEM's like Dell can choose whether or not to support/implement. The "Crossbow" update Brighthand reported on appears to be a whole new version of the OS, like WM2003SE was a seperate OS from WM2003.

Ahhhh, thanks. Then I'm hoping AKU2 brings some of the little things like BT profiles for standard devices and OBEX. I wasn't around WM around the 03/03SE era, so I wasn't aware of that. But I remember MS did this before with Windows 95, I think....

EDIT: By the way...is there even a final version of the WM5 SDK out? :rolling:

I installed A04 24 hours ago. Since installation I have lost the CF card three times, failed to turn on when pushing the power button once, and had repeated instances of the wifi icon indicating that it was searching for a system (after a soft boot) with wifi OFF! Unfortunately, my troubles are WORSE after upgrading to A04.

Microsoft/Dell, if you're listening... you need to do something soon. This product is defective and dysfuntional in its current form.

Just my .02,

Where is everyone getting these updates for WM5? the only ROM update I have is A01.. I feel out of the loop..

A01 still gives my CF card the 'David Blane' treatment..
