Don't panic about the ROM. If you are purchasing a very new AXIM it will all be pre-loaded with a stable operating system.
Windows Mobile 5 is the OS and the ROM takes care of all the additional bits of Dell interface, so if something doesn't work as well as it could and its issue is rooted in the hardware and its interaction with the OS then the ROM gets a rewrite by the Dell engineers to fix it.
While my description, above, may not be completely accurate the ROM is used to get the machine functioning in its first boot state. It is reset to this state after each 'hard reset'. When my first attempt to change the rom didn't work the system 'hard reset' to its 'out of the box' settings and no real grief was caused.
Sync regularly, then dive in! You can't overly wreck anything unless you get into the registry, and unless you've got software for that task its safe enough to fiddle.
Make sure you access the user forums before you remove any functions.
I'm sure you'll enjoy your AXIM.
bye,
Shuei.

Thanks Shuei for the encouragement. Mine is actually used and it came with A01. I have no programs on there that I am concerned about keeping, I fact if this thing reverts back to out of the box I may be happier. The bloke that had it before has stuff on I can't seem to get off (Chinese stuff) So a littl emore playing and studying and I'll be trying it.
