Dell is offering an upgrade CD for 5.0 when it comes out so I was
wondering, Would I be able to upgrade any device that has windows
Mobile 2003 SE? just wondering since I am trying to find which PPC to
buy. I think I will get the X30, But I would like to know if that's
good enough to upgrade to 5.0. thank you

You need to be more specific: what is your current Pocket PC?

Only a few devices are currently able to be upgraded - a couple from HP,
the Dell X50 and Loox. Anything else is no planned or announced.

No. The CD will only work on the PDA for which it was designed. In the
case of Dell, the X50v.

Thanks tom. Just to clarify, What your saying is that the upgrade CD is
not universal (the one distributed by microsoft not Dell)? Ok.

Thank you very much :)

There will be no CD distributed by MS at all. Only the device manufacturers
can distribute upgrade CDs and they control for which models they will and
won't provide them. And yes, as has been stated, they are model specific.

Robert,

The X30 will not be upgradeable.

For a complete list of WM 5.0 devices and the upgradeable units, visit my
site and click on the Windows Mobile 5.0 link.
