Wylo Shocker

A lot of people think that windows mobile 5 sucks, but i have finally convinced myself otherwise. of course, you x50 people still wont agree so really this is x51(v) people. here are some screen shots of my setup. i have removed the start bar and softkeys, which leaves me with a very nice 35 mb ram free, whereas before i had >30.


This looks good, admit it! see, qvga isnt all bad. :approve:

iLauncher is awesome!

Here is my memory


What do you guys have running, and what are your opinions on wm5?

any comments?

I think that it depends on what you are doing with WM5. At work we had a WiFi router available at some point and three other guys with PDA one with the X30H and two the iPaqs were able to connect no problem. I never did even after a hard reset. Maybe it was the device and maybe it was WM5 but I agree that WM5 was working overall very nicely.

It looks very pretty, but as an OS it's still rubbish!

If there was a easy way of installing 2003 on an X51 I'd do it in a flash

My experience w/ WM5, was w/ my purchase of the axim x51v, at the time of my purchase it came w/ Rom A02, and I was not too happy w/ my pda, to the point where I wanted to sell it

i've since then, all w/ the help of this site, been w/ axim over a 1yr now: a02->a06->a12

I must admit a12 was a major improvement w/ what I use my axim for.

i've noticed increased speeds w/ program launch, also increase speed w/ wifi connectivity w/ my home wireless network.

overall i'm pleased w/ my axim purchase. it took two updates for me to appreciate my axim, maybe w/ the next upgrade it'll be even better.

i've not experienced 2003, but from what I saw and heard, its a stable os, but wm5 will be there one day.

having had a 51v for six mths now i think wm5 is ok,i agree things like pie an msn could of have been alot better but overall ive been happy with this os.I cant speak for wm2003 as ive never seen it run.

I think a x51v w/a12 runs jus as good as my old x50 w/2003se with an occasional freeze every now n then but the freezes occurred more in 2003se,the only trouble I have w/wm5 is the tv static screen corruption and the false battery latch errors but those have been reduced by 90% since I put some tape on the latch.

Sure, you can eye candy an os all u want, but for me its speed and functionality. If keeping it basic keeps it fast, ill do it.

I agree with you Wylo. I have been perfectly content with my X51 running WM5 and QVGA :approve: Primarily use it for PIM, Word, Excel and moderate web surfing. Hope to add GPS soon.

I've never tried WM2003SE so I wouldn't know how to compare it with WM5 but everything works fine for me. So no complains here.. one happy WM5 user.
