I guess it's almost like the Lifedrive in that aspect then. Hell for some, perfect for others... I know someone who has a T5, and he's had more or less nothing but trouble with it. Major sync problems (both on the desktop software side, and the handheld hardware side - USB sync is supposedly iffy at best for him), huge problems getting the ROM update working, and more hardware/software problems (it could be either), which caused the battery to drain itself overnight without even doing anything...

Like I said, however... It seems to be a similar situation to the Lifedrive... Poor quality control - which is the major thing I fear for the upcoming TX and new Lifedrive.

That's interesting... I've read various things, possibly not with the Axim - I can't remember the details, that states people have had major problems with WM being unstable, in some cases. Wildly unstable. That's interesting with the Treo... From what I've read/heard the Treo seems to be, in general, the best recent Palm device, in terms of being stable, few problems (aside from the minor issue with the filesystem for the first while).
