Is it time to upgrade from X5 to X51v ?

I have an basic X5 (PPC2002), a 512 SD card and an Ambicom CF Wifi card. Everything works well. Have been reading some of the problems with the X51v. Are the benefits of the X51v (over the X5) greater than the problems? What are the biggest benefits of upgrading?

I did, I have started to have lack of memory problems with my X5, I think the newer programs are using more memory. I am not sure what program is hoging the memory. After soft reset 11 mb storgare and 8.5 program free. After a day I will almost have nothing left. That is why I bought the X51v, but if you can wait a month I would do so. Maybe by then maybe they will have a fix out, to take care of the problems.

I love the X51v, it is smaller, lighter, faster, the color is great. Not having the carry a wifi card is great. Even with the problems I am happy.

I agree with Chrissard. You've had your X5 this long, I'd just keep it until a ROM update comes out to fix at least some of the problems with the X51 series. Even without the update though, the benefits over the X5 out weigh the problems, but it will just be a much smoother transition for you if you hold off just a little bit longer.
