Start playing with WM5, or upgrade to WM6 first?

[slik.]

I recently purchased an AT&T 8525 and am interested in upgrading it a bit.

I don't really want to do anything extravagant with it (yet). I was planning on using Battery Status, HTC Home, and possibly HHC to start with. If all goes well, I may continue to pimp out my 8525 a bit more after.

I guess my question is more of a matter of opinion, but here it goes:

I was wondering if you guys thought it would be more wise to keep WM5 and start using these files (maybe because they are more stable w/ this OS, or because there is a wider selection, I'm not sure)...

OR

Maybe I should just go ahead and upgrade to WM6 and work with the more recent versions of the programs I was looking for on my phone.

I apologize in advance for my noobness! :confused:

Read, read and read.
Once you have read, and you know what you are doing, then go straight for WM6. WM5 is slow.

agovinoveritas is right.

Moreover,

if you are really new to Windows Mobile devices,

I suggest you to stay with the WM5 and study / feel it first.

Then you may find WM6 how tasty it is. ^_^

enjoy~~ ^_^

I bought my imate jasjam in October 2006 and used WM5 for about 8 months then I got bored of it. May be it is better to play with WM5 first and when you are going for the upgrade. Try to get the original ROM handy with you. But remember upgrading need some wise thinking and reading. So no more noobness while doing so.

that is what everybody has done before upgrading.

Radio Rom is major factor on upgrading or downgrading but apart all HARD-SPL. Read about it or better use Mr.Vanx guide at
