I'm wondering now what the percentage is on plowing ahead to WM 6. Anyone here experienced the difference between the two?

I have used all of them, 2003, 6, 6.1, and 6.5. The difference between 5 and 6 is not that great, some additional functionality (especially e-mail and contact management), compatibility with add-on programs, etc. The interface on 6.0 looks a little nicer. Though there are plenty of free add-ons which can give you a much easier to use interface. Check out the comparison table, WM 5 vs 6, at

By the way, if you ever want to browse the web on your device, get the free Opera Mobile 10.2 Beta and Skyfire. Forget the built-in browser, it stinks.
