Hi again,
Here you have a 63 minutes video presentation of Win Mobile 5.0 by BBB (Big Boss Bill) and four other (Technical) Product Managers of Windows Mobile:
http://metahost.savvislive.com/microsoft/20050510/medc_20050510_300.asx
If I have noticed it correctly they use the new MDA IV to demonstrate the new features coming up with 5.0 version.
kind regards,

Hi everyone,
I wish to know if i can upgrade my XDA2S with pocketpc 2003 SE like OS to Windows mobile 5
Thanks a lot
Hi,
According Microsoft you cannot upgrade since devices that work on 2003 are not compatible with 5, see:

First of all: Google ("Which rom") is your friend!
(Senior members don't appreciate questions like this )
Secondly:
There's no easy answer. Multiple chefs cook multiple flavours each with their own preferences (and the preferences of their fans)
The only way to find out what flavour suits you is to look around on this forum and read, read, read..... read!!!
If you don't narrow your reading by just looking for a rom and also look around in problem solving threads it might help you to make the right choice. Some cooks really know what they do.
And be warned: It might be addictive Once you overcome the initial fear of burning (potentially bricking) your device you're temped to try every release on this forum.....

What do you expect hear?? Everyone has their own favourite, just try for yourself... Why would anyone use WM6 if WM5 was better?
Everyone has his own preference when it comes to installed applications, so much is clear, but other things are harder to figure out, such as the speed or responesiveness of a particular rom. Some people, like me, just don't have the time to try them all out, i rather just tinker on a good rom.
It's easy to see what applications and settings set the roms apart, but what i can't figure out is the difference between the differtent versions of WM.
Does anyone have any idea what the pros and cons are of 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) versus 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)?

Look around there is more than one thread coving speed test of various ROMs and the bottom line is that they are all about the same when first flashed. However, once you start adding YOUR chosen third party applications one ROM may be better. That is why we try them all. Developers (cooks) can't test their ROM with every application and some applications are not yet fully compatible with WM6 so they may cause you problems. If you don't have time to try them then read the threads and make an informed decision. If you don't have time for that you should probably leave your phone as is.
My ROM is the best
There's your answer!
Mine is the best. Obviously. Sheesh.. What an obvious answer.
here's something that might help "us" out:

Windows Mobile 5 is the best.
Now pack your bags and get the hell out of the WM6 forum.
Isn't it obvious you've not done any reading at all? GEEZ.
New Rule!

OK, now all you have to do is read the threads on the ROMs you listed and make YOUR decision.
And, I'm not really up on the ROM karma so I can't help with that part, sorry.
all are "better"
All roms are very good. your question is not
As I said.. WM5 is the best.
Hi,
Achile's Youtube Online Version 3 is second best rom.
I hope Achile will start to make a 6.5 for some serious competition with Dheewatara!
Cheers,
Innovator
1> any other testers got stuck with Achille's decent rom version 3 like me
i bought xda yesterday , i dont know yet can you give me link for your rom ?
2> what's the most important difference between WM 6.5 & 6.1 ?
Finger scrolling menu in programs , settings/ nothing important, i dont know why but i don.t like 6.5
3> anyone tested the Igo Amigo or uses this instead of IGO Myway 2008 ?
Amigo have simple friendly interface (i like amigo, maps are small) its just cutted wersion of my way 08
4> any spectacular new roms upcomming (maybe Achilles has plans for a version 4 or something, or Tom Condon who is back?)
millions of them biliions of them , trillions of them
sorry for my english
2> what's the most important difference between WM 6.5 & 6.1 ?
new version of internet explorer
new homescreen (titanium)
new programs menu (honeycomb)
finger-friendly menus
new lock screen
it is only a .5 upgrade so ( just like from wm6 to wm6.1 ) there isn't too much to shout about, but as with the 6-6.1 jump i've found 6.5 to be faster and more stable than previous releases, and the finger-friendliness is much better. Plus i much prefer the newer version of IE
nice, concerning the Amigo : smaller maps, but are they still nice looking in 3D, what did they cut out of the maps of IGO8 then?
Concerning the finger friendliness : more on the today screen you mean ?
But i'd rather like the today screen in achile's rom (can't remember the name), maybe he or someone else can make a sequel with wm 6.5 with the same today
Or i just install that today screen, what was the name again?
Just gone back to my Artemis after living with an Elf for a year, but it went along with my job!
Anyhow, in rsponse to your questions...
1> any other testers got stuck with Achille's decent rom version 3 like me
not yet - but the 6.5 ROMs out there are too buggy at the moment. I just need a decent clean rom!
2> what's the most important difference between WM 6.5 & 6.1 ?
No programs and settings folders on screen, just icons direct from the strat button. Improved IE, but I don't use IE anyway - Operam Mini for me every time - if you haven't tried it, you must!
3> anyone tested the Igo Amigo or uses this instead of IGO Myway 2008 ?
Yes. I try every satnav software I can.... Amigo is not worth the hassle if you can get Igo8 running... Igo looks nicest, but is really probably over-complicated. I always end up back at TomTom - it's simplest, cleanest, fastest...
4> any spectacular new roms upcomming (maybe Achilles has plans for a version 4 or something, or Tom Condon who is back?)
Well, all I want is a clean ROM with office and Java on it - the most importnt thing is speed of response...

Very good rom but something is missing in : BT_SAP protocol.
I've found a cab for install it but it'is an older version and dont work properly.
Do you think it's possible to make a new version of this cab with the lastes version of htc sap protocol ?
achilles ROM V3
Achilles ROM V3 is best but it takes too much RAM. I request achilles to pl cook WM 6.5 with touch flo 2d keeping in mind maximum available of balance RAM.
Regards
DWatara's 6.5 with M2D is best (you can disable the M2D it if you have memory short but I like it, no memory problems (and working with IGO 8 also) )
Hi there!
As I understand asus did not planned to release wm 6.5 for this model, but is there a chance to use some customized/cooked rom, or not?
thanks!

same question...
Same question but for its succesor model A696. It runs the same ROM WM6. Is there any way to take this default ROM and "upgrade" its core to WM6.5??? Any tools for that?
The updated A626/A696 rom is coming, but you got to give me some time (I am a full-time college student, after all). Meanwhile, I have a WM6.1 rom for you to play with.
...
.. thanks, I'll wait for 6.5, if you be so kind and inform us when it be available ..
cheers!
Yeah, a 6.5 for my A696 will be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks!
