Has anyone heard of WM5 Premium. I heard that HP has it but not have confirmed it. And I was told that this verison has a full MS BT stack..hmmm

the cd i got with my x51v says "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Prem w/Outlk 2002"

I cannot say if it's true with WM5.0 but with previous mobile OSes, the Premium versions were the ones that included the Mobile Office software (daveyiv's post is consistent with this).

And I can confirm that the version my friend got to upgrade his HP is the same as ours but it has a full BT stack in it. It all depends on what the manufacturer wants to put in it.

Bigdave - I thought that HP used the Widcomm/Broadcomm stack, as I've seen all of their units use it. :D It's not the full MS Stack - that's in the Dell x51v, which is why people call it crippled compared to the superior Broadcomm stack that Dell used to use for WM2003SE and the x50's.

Correct. I only said a full BT stack,didn't mean the MS one. but you are right, it is the Widcomm/Broadcomm stack. which is what we had in wm2003 on our x50v's. hopefully Dell wll put that back in soon.

Amen! It's not too late to return for some new owners either...DELL!! lol

I think my info was false or that was meaning that Widcomm/Broadcomm drivers from dell could happen in the future..I hope so, if not I'll keep using the broadcomm drivers i've installed over top of the MS ones
