I've been watching with mild interest as the ROMs fly, but what would really get me off would be a nifty ROM that took all the latest perks developers are fiddling with and laid them over WM 2003SE Phone Edition instead of WM5. Now that would be something. A lot of the very best software and hardware (SD/IO devices, for example) is still not available for WM5, which is also quite limiting in other respects that I just can't get my mind around the reason why so many are getting on the WM5 consumerist bandwagon.
I've put forward some considered arguments against WM5 elsewhere which no one to date has attempted to challenge, so I'm going to have to assume that I was right on all counts.

To be proven wrong is never an unwelcome occurrence for me, so I hope no one is trying to spare me the rod, as it were. No, it must be that I hit on something that others hadn't considered before. Or is it just that the holders forth on the would-be merits of WM5 have not been very eloquent up to now? "It's new!" "It looks better!" "It's just better..." are the frustrated yet not untypical responses I've been reading to queries from other potential "upgraders".
What WM2K3SE needs is a new name, one without a number. And what some of us Blue Angel devotees need is a perky ROM or two backed with it. My ROMcraft is not really up to snuff yet, but if I have to do it myself I suppose in the end I'm willing to spend a lot of my free time over the course of the coming *several months* or so to acquire the needed know-how. Even so, I wish someone else would beat me to that high honor.
WM2K3SE does have its warts, and WM5 is still in the running, but in the balance isn't the new being grossly overrated at the expense of the better?
