Group,
 
Per Scott Seidman's suggestion, here is a list of which Windows Mobile 2003  
and 2003 SE devices will have an upgrade offered to Windows Mobile 5.0.

The list will be updated as more announcements are made.

I'll be quite miffed if the 5450 is left off that list as it's still a heavyweight
in the PPC division.

To be objective you should add HTC Himalaya (aka XDA II, QTEK 2020, etc) to  
the list. It already has WM5, though it is a leaked beta.
 
And by the way, the version of WM5 according to control panel applet is 5.1  
and not 5.0

Same here, as I have a 5450 also. If they don't I think offer it, I think  
everyone with a device that could more than support it (48mb flash, WiFi,  
bluetooth, 400mhz or faster) should file a class action suit against the  
companies. Why did we pay $500-700 ($599 in my case) for a PDA for a large  
rom to support upgrades if the companies will not create or offer the  
upgrades ? Even if it was $100 for the upgrade I am sure a good chunk of  
users would be interested, if it was a major upgrade.
 
Think about it, if you picked up a desktop or laptop 3 or 4 years old, they  
have all the drivers and bios updates for Windows XP, they even will offer  
you the software to buy or upgrade on their sites, what is the difference ?
 
I'll be first in line to contact a lawyer about it......

The fact that WM 5 only offers a few new icons makes that pointless  
action. If you want Graphs in Excel or Powerpoint you could probably  
find a 3rd party app for the same price (I assume any WM5 upgrades will  
not be free).

WHat about the iPaq 2200? I know it has various names in Europe and the  
US so i'm a bit confused.
