My chat with dell today regarding X50 WM5 updates. Knowing before hand that Dell chats are about as forthcoming as White House press briefings, Hopefully its true My original question was: When will there be a ROM update for X50 users who have upgraded to WM5? It has many problems.

If the dell rep was accurate; an update should be coming tomorrow! Yeah!

I would not place any large bets on this.Above all don't hold your breath.

 

Yeah, I agree with Tblove. I'll believe it when I see it.

No matter what the problem, it will always be addressed within 10 days. I'm pretty sure that if you asked about the release of the new X75V they'd say look for it in about 10 days. If they answer honestly with "we haven't got a clue why things don't work or how to fix them right now" you probably wouldn't be completely happy with Dell.

That's the X70S, Ivan.

Hmmmm. Perhaps a live webcam of someone holding the breath waiting for a Dell WM5 ROM upgrade might be more interesting than the actual upgrade?
