Hello, I know this is a fairly old model, but it would look amazing with the WM5 Rom upgrade. It has a very nice interface and just some minor lacks like Bluetooth. I have read many threads on this forum and other other forums about people trying to upgrade their device from Windows Mobile 2003 to WM5. I tried the Himalaya tool and some other tools. Also, I was unable to enter "Bootloader Mode" when I pressed the 2 side buttons and the reset button simultaneously. I know there are many people wondering and probably hundreds who haven't posted a thread about it. I know xda-developers are capable of mostly anything concerning PDA's, Pocket PC's, Palms etc. I am almost a 100% sure that the hardware is able to support it. And although the device doesn't have a big memory capacity, you can expand the memory with an SD card so memory should NOT be a problem. On behave of many owners of this model, I would like some one to come up with a solution, or if there is an already known method please post it, it will be appreciated by many people. If you have a solution please post the download links for the tools as well. Thanks.
