Cheap Mobile 5 upgrade CDs on eBay?! Also upgrade questions...

these were definitally Dell cd's that i recieved from all the proper paers, to teh proper labels, including that dell scanner label on the outside of the package, no way someone would take the time and effort to duplicate that much for such little profit.

Well. Let make it so, whenever you buy it from eBay, you pay money to someone who downloaded it from p2p network and recorded on a CD. In that case you'd better get it from p2p network yourself as otherwise you are paying to someone who did nothing to earn that money.

What the F*** has DELL done to deserve my $57.00 Canadian. NOTHING. They gave me a piece of s**t unfinished OS thats completely useless to me. The only they have offered me since is a downgrade to Windows moible 2003 SE. I dont want that. I want my f***ing money back or a working OS.

If you want to see what Windows Mobile 5 is like get it from wherever you can, but not DELL. They dont deserve no F***ing money.

People complain how dell never provides upgrades. Now that they finally made an upgrade cd everyone has been bitching. Dell will never make another upgrade if they don't make money off it. Just buy it from dell.

Your a f***ing idiot, go work for Dell you stupid bitch. Of course everyone is bitching. They sold us s*** and have done nothing in months to fix it and I dont think they will. Why bother when they have so many problems with the X51 and its the only device still brining in money.

well if they came from dell and are original cd's that means that Dell had to make their money off them at one point in time, so they had to feel good about lettign them go for whatever price they let them go for (The only thing i wonder is if some bigger companies that use axims were given these cd's to updgrade their axims, so they use one cd, and sell the rest) I don't know if this is whats happeneing, but it could be

I'm very skeptical of any legal rights to enforce many of these non-transferable license agreement. Especially since you never signed any contract with Dell in regards to the license of said upgrade CD. They simply mailed it to you. You don't even click an "I agree" until you open up the CD, and install it, so if noone ever made any contract with Dell, how can it be illegal to sell your upgrade CD which Dell gave you? Once you've installed it, MAYBE they have some legal rights, but even then I wonder if those are legally enforceable

I got the upgrade for FREE (was included in purchase price) and it wasn't worth the price I paid! <$0.00>

Buying a legal (non-pirated) copy from ebay is most likely legal. EULA's and License Agreements may attempt to limit your rights, however often times those are NOT LEGALLY BINDING. For example - many agreements say you cannot make a copy of the (program, cd, movie etc) but FEDERAL FAIR USE laws allow you to make 1 (one) backup copy of any media you own REGARDLESS of what any EULA states. Federal law will trump a company's private EULA... Now that may give the company the right to refuse support to you or other consequences, but they may not have any legal recourse.
