I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
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.

Hi there. Haven’t been trying this yet, but how about looking into:

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.
