I hate the fact that the 51v is buggy but anyway you look at it the bugs will be fixed soon and can be worked around for the small annoyances they are. If you accept this then 128Mb is better than 64Mb and no memory wipe on low battery is better than full system reset

I Was Wrong, My X51v won't do anything

I Take it all back, My X51v Choked,

1. Battery very warm, turns on by itself, runs the battery dead

2. WiFi comes on by itself with every reset, won't stay off.

3. Very slow, often times the spinny microsoft wheel stays on for 5 minutes or more when Word is started.

4. When a file list comes up it won't let me scroll to the bottom, constantly snaps back to the top of the list.

5. Lots of issues.

What I've done:

1. DC'd all battery monitor software, in other threads its mentioned this may be the cause.

2. DC'd all Resco products, also mentioned as cause.

3. DC'd pTravelAlarm.

4. DC'd City Time, as well as Wisbar Advanced 2

5. I did keep Weather Panel on the Today screen.

I really miss Resco Explorer, use it constantly, as well as the Resco Today Plug-In.

I'm back to my X50v until the OS is updated for the X51v. The 51 is running quite well right now, but no goodies installed, pretty boring..
