Dell Axim Windows Mobile 5.0 bugfix upgrade imminent

Don't fix something that ain't broke, 'cause you'll break it and you still can't fix it. Next time listen to Murphy when you plan on upgrading your PDA to Microsoft's bleeding edge mobile OS. A member at Aximsite is quoting Dell technical support saying that they will soon release a bugfix upgrade for Windows Mobile 5.0, which hopefully addresses various issues such as

sluggish response times (long loadings, slow screen redrawing)
CF card mount randomly disappearing
Bluetooth stack incompatibilities
sudden battery discharge
random system lock-ups
power-up issues
buggy Dell GPS tool

Now, how's that for a scary list?

It's a nasty list of issues, and has caused a lot of angst, wailing and gnashing of teeth over at Aximsite I've noticed

I guess it's like any other major MS OS upgrade: wait for at least the first service pack before taking the leap!
