Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Pocket PC / October 2005Dell WM5 upgrade
Right any news on the UK windows mobile 5 upgrade for the Dell Axim x50v...... as Dell don't want to answer and nobody seems to know! I know the US version is available to pre order...... but you can't order from the UK > Right any news on the UK windows mobile 5 upgrade for the Dell Axim > x50v...... as Dell don't want to answer and nobody seems to know! I know the > US version is available to pre order...... but you can't order from the UK When somebody tells me *why* I should want the upgrade, that it's all completely compatable with everything I'm currently using, that it makes the built-in apps more useable, and there's no downside, THEN I'll start to get upset at Dell for not making it available. I only bought my X50 a couple of weeks ago; I'm in no hurry to upgrade to something without tangible advantages and no disadvantages. New software is almost always plagued with bugs, issues and "undocumented features" anyway.

But I'm still not sold on the idea until (i) Dell tell me I can have it free, like all the Americans who bought their x50's in the same quarter as me, and (ii) it is proven to work with all the apps I use regularly. Richard Richard, There are a lot of questions regarding applications for sure. I would check with the developers of each of your "critical" apps to make sure the apps are going to work or if they will have an upgrade.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Richard Richard, The biggest reason is likely the Persistent Storage aspect of WM5 which has a biproduct of saving you some battery power. There are significant improvements to Mobile Word and Mobile Excel along with the addition of Mobile PowerPoint. Pocket Outlook now supports pictures for the contacts and ActiveSync 4 can sync subfolders. Ultimately it is each users call and you have to weigh the options. I personally can't wait to get my upgrade CD.
