I'm trying to support a friend of mine, who has one of the first Axim X5 with WM2002, to upgrade it...
...as much as possible (ideally to 2003SE, or 2003 at least) :?:
Dell site was obviously useless
Any idea of where I should look?
Is there any forum like this one for Dell PDAs maybe? :shock:
Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
www.aximsite.com, will tell you everything
hi
i want to get as many ppl on this band wagon.... DOnt buy any new ppcs.. lets wait it out and try to get companys like o2,vodafone,qtek and imate to give us 2005 upgrades...
i figure if we dont buy..they might just give in...
BTW: applause to HP and dell for the upgrades
Hello!
Do we know that they are NOT gonna offer this upgrade to us?
Björn
well not sure about s and i
but somebody did get some reply to a mail that 1.72 was the last
rom for xdaII from o2 or something
actually no confirmation yet.. but judging from the support or lack of it more to the point from imate etc.. i can safely assume they will not..
plus the best defence is a good offence..
Hello!
Why is everybody complaining about the support? What has happend?
Björn
I'm having trouble understanding how 2005 can realistically work properly on an XDA2...
isn't it a bit like putting XP on a PentiumII 333?
Ant
well newer pda's with 2005 is not that more powerfull then xda2's
cpu speed or memory have not really skyrocket'd that much
newer devices just come with wifi really and maybe 500Mhz cpu's insted of 400
and VGA
RE
I would be happy if O2 gives my O2 XDA II the WM2003SE upgrade... with a small fee though.
What makes you think they would provide the WM2005 upgrade?
I think O2 is trying to monopolize the market.
@zohaer21: i can agree on your frustration cause the product is not made compatible with other types then the xdaII, coincidentally the type being used the most probably and being modified to the rightful end-owners wishes use, likely against the wishes of the developers.
WM2k5 is launched but forgot to mention that at this moment it's only available for a certain type of mobile phone. Which type of wm2k5 is being discussed and described on all the sites? Neato.
Applause to HP & Dell indeed. Their prices are the same as XDA types yet their upgrades on software... ohlala, what a difference.
@WaspWorld: reading many informational sites on Mobile phones, it's more like one local/geographical user will have luck and another can bite the dust, which is wrong yes. Try finding a general QTek support site, you'll end up biting the dust paying more where you bought it.
@ Anton: from what I've been reading here, wm2k5 runs smooth on an xdaII. Isn't more like it's built with more extras, so the end-user would be obliged to buy a new phone because the current phone doesn't support it? Remember the fact that it's (new) software with new 'features'.
I could get XP running on a PentiumI 200MMX, sluggish system but it ran ok, bugged out the non-necessities and it ran better.
@Rudegar: true, so it's not that the xdaII isn't up for wm2k5.
by not upgrading ?
they dont make their money selling the devices
since the device cost alot more if you dont get it
with a cellphoen subscription
so they are spending money when people buy their phones
of cause they plan on making even more on the subscription
the reason i think they would not offer the upgrade is because of
the support cost it would bring yet another platform for their tech's to
advice people about how to get working and how to get working like their old nokia worked and ....
and about monopolize then i guess that depend on where you are
because they are not present here at all
@Rudegar: so true. That's why large OEM companies like HP & Dell have such a large support staff. For the rest of them like most of use are subject to, it's tougher to provide excellent support. I guess that's one of the major reasons for the existence of this forum.
I think they will never offer an uograde to make us looking always for the missing things as I am sure they will never offer us the device of our dreams. there will be always something missing to look forward to buy it when they offer it in a new device lacking some other things,... and so on
Hello,
I have a Dell Axim x50v recently purchased off ebay along with a Dell Executive Bluetooth Keyboard.
I am on WM2003SE but think I want to go to at least WM2005 for advanced options with my pocket genealogist program.
I also would like to view photos and listen to music on my axim.
Can someone tell me the best upgrade roms to go for, if at all?
photos and muisic work on all os's equally well. not sure about your genealogist program.
wm2003 A05 is pretty stable.
Hi. This is a great site. I have just ordered the x51v off of ebay. I shall upgrade it to WM6 using the great info on this forum.
I know there are folding keyboards available for the x51v but I wont be using the keyboard outside. Can I use any pc bluetooth wireless keyboard with it? It will be for taking down notes or chatting.
Thanks
Im using Axim X5. It also has keyboard but I never use.
Hey all, I just joined on a referral from the Dell Axim forums. I just bought a Dell Axim x50v from an auction real cheap, and i'm looking to upgrade the OS on the device. It currently has Windows Mobile CE 2003 on it, and i would like to upgrade it to whatever is the newest that it can handle. I did do a search, but i found a lot of posts, so i thought it would be best to create a new one to effectively set my claim. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
