Have they improved WM5 yet?

Hi all. I haven't been on the site for probably about a year now. The last time I was on was right after WM5 was released. I was one of the few who seemed to have a lot of problems with it on my X50v. I wound up rolling back to 2003, simply because it seemed more stable in my experience.

There were talks of updates or patches, and I was wondering if any such updates were ever released?

I'd like to get with the times, and was just wondering whats the latest version I should be on. I'm on ROM A05. Is that still the latest or is there an upgrade that I should get?

In other words, someone bring me up to speed!


Thanks!

I think most of us have stuck with 2003SE, Dell never released anything to "fix" us

I'm relatively new to Axim, as mine is only a month old. But, it came with ROM version A12, which is several significant updates since the first release last year. From what I've read, it's made a huge (positive) difference. Mine runs just fine. FYI, I've also update ActiveSync to the latest 4.5(beta) to solve some sync'ing problems.

Mine came with A12 installed and it works flawless. I had a hx4700 and the WM5 upgrade was a nightmare.....killed the unit twice. I get the hardware on the 4700 may not have been ideal to work wiht WM5, but it was still horrible.
