Dell will not be offering a Windows Mobile 5.0 Upgrade for X30!
After chatting with technical support, I sadly found out that Dell will NOT be offering a Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade for the X30. This is not a rare company trick, HP did it too. Both companies will only be offering upgrades for their exspensive high-end models. This is ridiculous!

There are several threads on this topic, use the search feature and you can put your 2 cents in on the discussion. I believe there's even a petition you can sign. Also, welcome to Aximsite!!

Where is the petition? Even if all 90,000 Dell AximSite members wrote to support this (even if they don't have X30 but just to show support for the community members in general) WOULD DELL REALLY LISTEN? Would DELL do anything?

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I was merely relaying a fact. You're probably right, most likely they won't do anything. The petition for the X3 WM 2003 SE upgrade was futile . . .

Nope, never meant my response as a 'shoot the messenger', I just neede the quick link and then posted my thoughts IN CASE DELL was looking at posts. Can only try, heck we are just those lowly people some call customers!

Why would Dell invest time and effort into upgrading an older device that possibly can't even run 5?

But really, the X3/X30 (and X5 for that matter) series wouldn't see much of an improvement, and possibly even see a decrease in performance over WM2003. Even the current X50 isn't going to take full advantage of the biggest pro for WM5, which is RAM utilization. The next-gen devices are going to be the ones to really watch out for, assuming they offer a little more RAM on them.

Since most manufacturers will likely still support WM2003 for awhile after WM5 comes out, I don't see the need for Dell/HP/etc to spend the time/money on developing a custom WM5 build for models that won't be able to effectively use the "selling" features of WM5.
