Downgrading my Axim X50v

Well, I spent $40 for the Windows Mobile 5 upgrade for my Dell, and it’s been a pain in the ass ever since.  Apparently I’m not alone, since now Dell officially lists a downgrade for the Axim: yep, it’s back to 2003 SE for the little guy.  Maybe it will stop blinking its stupid LED, draining its battery, and just being a pain in the butt.

    Editor’s note: Yep, I installed that release, and have generally been happier with that release than with the new Mobile 5.0 release.  Thanks a lot for charging me $40 for the privilege of installing an OS which I later had to remove, Dell & Microsoft.
