I upgraded and relay did not get a chance to see a difference.
All I see is that the BT went to hell, it will not hold a connection. Bad for GPS connections.

AnswerDude, any Ideas?

Well i did the upgrade and so far i am quite impressed, runs faster, looks nicer and definetly a lot better than before, i have installed a few programmes including pocket weather and ilauncher on the device, not on the cards and everything looks ok, SO FAR anyway, will see.

Update: I tried everything to get my BT working, no luck. I finally reinstalled PPC win 5 again and all is well.

That update has a bug. :mad:
