What is the upgrade worth to YOU
Now that we know WM5 is coming out and that we can upgrade, what is the most you would spend for it.

IMHO,

What about zero cents not a penny,

the thing is with my x30h there won't be

any benifits. Magneto is met for newer hardware,

though it is said it can run on the x30h.

knowing myself if does become available i

mite try it.

Free would be good but I guess 20.00 will do.

Sibian/linux/palm are fine OS for the phones not M$.

i mean peeps are all in awe with this convergence stuff,

same applies to VOip, if you need to call 911, you can't rely

on the internet nor M$.



good god i need a chill pill, stat !

err this is an upgrade for the X50 series we're talking about here. If you need to call 911 you better use a phone - just thought you might like to know that now

i kinda knew i was openning myself for some flaming,

i wasn't answering the question ask for one thing.

my thoughts were met for M$ insane preposition that

their OS is stable enought for the phones market.

and if history does repeat itself it shan't ever be "ready".

I haven't noticed how much bigger the foot print will be,

lets hope it won't like win98 versus winxp, from 200 meg

to a whooping 1.5 gig footprint. And it still needs to

be rebooted. but then again, i'm ranting and raving yet again.

well personally i think that the symbian smartphone is about the best of the smartphones... but my problem with the smartphone concept is less about the os than the form factor... but thats probably an argument for another thread.

I thought this thread was talking about the X50V upgrade to 2005 but reading it i concede that it could have been interpreted as talking about 2005 (or wm5 as we now know it). So if my last post seemed harsh (and i can see how it might have appeared like that) i apologies...

Right thats my bit said... I'll get off the stage now

$30 would seem fair. Anymore would depend on how it ran on my X50v from other users feedback.

Zero.
I still have the X5, which Dell claimed at first would receive the WM2k3se upgrade then changed their minds. Though I hope they don't dash the hopes of the X50 owners as they did us, I'll believe it when I actually see where someone posted a successful upgrade. Be that as it may, it's not worth one red cent. It will be
