Very nice thanks, cleared up a few misconceptions.

Wow! There is Error Reporting just like Windows XP. Interesting. Maybe this time, they'll even provide Windows Updates... I'm impressed.

well if this is true im happy: Windows Mobile 5 supports a variety of display resolutions included standard QVGA (240 x 320), VGA (640 x 480) and square 240 x 240.

I'm still unconvinced about the soft-key system. What about old apps designed for WM2003SE and older? Do they run? Is their bottom menu bar visible or is it behind useless soft-keys?

Thanks for the link.

Wow. WM5 keeps sounding better and better. I can't wait.

Good find! I think I'll hang back on WM5 until I hear what happens to my fellow Aximsite members when they upgrade immediately upon release of the software. :)

I was pretty sure that it didn't support true VGA, but it would really be a nice surprise, wouldn't it?

I was dissapointed to find out that powerpoint wouldn't allow you to create/edit.

ctstan

I do agree with you on that. I was excited to find out PPT was to be included ---- but this is the first I heard for viewing only. If thats the case (and it appears to be) --- that function is basically useless to me. Dang it --- it's STILL making it tough to be a complete laptop replacement......

That would be AWESOME if it supported VGA.

If it doesnt, the only way im going to buy WM5 is if there is a HUGE improvement in batt. life.

I thought that WM2003SE supported VGA, but only the X50v and HP4700 actually are VGA PDA's. Is that not the case? If so, how are they VGA capable?
