Gave Up!

Well, it took me a year but I finally gave up on WM5 on my X50v...too damn buggy and slow. Constant locks...would not turn on and just s l o o o w performance. Is Dell giving refunds for those who purchased WM5? (I must be deluding myself in thinking this would be the case). Are they giving up on the whole Axim product line? Given the level of support for this product I don't believe I will be buying Dell any longer, including PC's. Too bad, once a mighty fine product line and company. The product support is too frustrating and complicated. Back to buiding my own PC's and using the Cell companies for an all in one device. So long Dell!!!

do u still have time left on your warranty? I heard that they may give you a refurb x51v to replace the x50v with the WM5 upgrade

If the X51V deal doesn't fly you can always wait for linux.

Don't even try it. Most people already confirmed that it DOES not work and will only screw up your device. Think it this way: if x51v ROM works on x50v, Dell would already use it for x50v devices instead of enduring all the criticisms and spend more money to develop the upgrade seperately.

It's on the "New A12 Rom for X51v" thread, around page 12 or 13.
I think it's HOGWASH; there's also a thread on that subject.
