| Dell Axim X51v Windows Mobile Upgrade? Just called Dell to see if they offered an upgrade from WM5 to WM6. Was told no. Is this right? Has anyone else been able to upgrade an Axim?      |

| Re: Dell Axim X51v Windows Mobile Upgrade? Dell is telling you the truth. They don't support it. Doesn't mean it hasn't been done.

| Re: Dell Axim X51v Windows Mobile Upgrade? Nice to hear. That sounds better than the typical experience for X50 users with the official upgrade from PPC2003 to WM5 ;) "john" <john@msn.com> wrote in message news:uWeeTF05IHA.4852@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > > "JBradshaw" <jbradsha@dphilneas.nnn> wrote in message > news:duSdnYTCKurwguDVnZ2dnUVZ_r7inZ2d@posted.inter netamerica... >> Just called Dell to see if they offered an upgrade from WM5 to WM6.

| Re: Dell Axim X51v Windows Mobile Upgrade? It's because of the hardware that the x50v / iPAQ hx4700 has a much worse time running the factory WM5 than the x51v. (The cooked 6.1 ROM's are far better in this respect - at least on the hx4700. Haven't checked it on the x50v.) -- -- Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen - Microsoft MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices Please see the Pocket PC Mag Expert Blog (including mine) at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ - you will definitely like it.

| Re: Dell Axim X51v Windows Mobile Upgrade? Hi, Officially all roms not released from the OEM are not supported from the OEM (like Dell) or Microsoft. If you choose to use these roms you do so at your own risk.

Yep, that's where the link take you. He's since released an A08 but there seems to be some old problems that have resurfaced in it. A07 has been flawless for me. The best thing about Football's ROMs is they are as close as possible to what Dell might have released had they not abandoned the Axims. IOW, no third party add-on garbage like all the other ROMs floating around out there. |

Are the backups that were done under WM5 and transferred to my PC useless once the transition to WM6.1 is complete? Just want to confirm that all the software previously on the X51v will have to be reinstalled from scratch, not from the backups. That is my understanding. |
