Hello everyone,
This is my first thread and I need some advice as I'm shi**ing it about updating my PDA2K WM03SE Model: PH20B to WM6.
I want to try this upgrade as I spent £600 plus on this thing & I've had to soft reset some 400 times over the past 4 years. I've now stripped everything out, hard reset & installed about 4 programmes & now find my new SD 4 gig card can't be recognised, time to do something before I throw this thing at the wall.
My questions are:
1. Will the unit be more stable
2. Will my programmes Pocket Player & TomTom Navigator still register & work
3. Will the PPC recognise 4Gig cards
4. Is the upgrade as easy as it looks
5. Is WM6 far superior to WM03SE
Thanks & I look forward to replies, I hope.:confused:

1. Will the unit be more stableShould be. Just keep in mind that 2003 was designed to run on the phone, WM6 wasn't. WM6 on the angel is a collection of patches and files from other phones.

2. Will my programmes Pocket Player & TomTom Navigator still register & workThese particular apps, I don't know.

3. Will the PPC recognise 4Gig cardsOnly if the card is not an SDHC card. I have a 4 gig topram SD card that worked fine in my old angel. The only catch was that accessing data on the card was slower than a smaller card due to the larger amount of memory and CPU needed to deal with the larger space addressing.

4. Is the upgrade as easy as it looksI found it to be very easy, just make sure you follow every step in the wiki exactly.

5. Is WM6 far superior to WM03SEI think so. It feels much faster than WM5. I can't compare to 2003 as I upgraded mine to WM5 as soon as I received my angel and never tried 2003.

Thanks for that, what a great reply.
Just what I needed & I thought ubuntu forum was the only helpful one out there.

Thanks a lot !!!!! :)
