I have finally taken the plunge and upgraded my Axim X50 from Windows Mobile 2003 to Windows Mobile 5 (WM5). Actually, as I was nervious of the effects of such a drastic change, I carried out the operation on one of the spare Axims at work before I committed it to my own machine.

The main reason I waited to do the upgrade was because the software that I use on a regular basis, such as TomTom Navigator, Pocket Informant and Softmaker's Planmaker and Textmaker, hadn't been updated to work with WM5. Now that they have it seemed time to make the switch.

The upgrade itself was pretty straightforward and painless - apart from the fact that the device is completely wiped of course. So what about in use?
