I would say that my upgrade went semi-smoothly, venturing into the realm of badly. Here's why:

Obviously, it took a looooooooooooooooooooong time to restore the backup... perhaps 30-45 minutes. Damn! And these things are supposed to make you life more efficient?

I had a hiccup with Intellisync. Yes, I'm one of those losers that is forced to use Lotus Notes at work (I despise Lotus Notes).

In the middle of the Intellisync "syncing", my MS Activesync just decided to bug out (it has done this a couple times in the few days I've owned it), and Intellisync gave me an error: "You suck human. Connection closed."

Then, I tried loading up Activesync manually, with no luck. At this point, I usually reboot, but rebooting my machine takes forever due to shared drives, active directory, and domain controller over a Nokia VPN switch. I hate rebooting my work computer.

So this time, I tried the task manager approach: I just went into task manager and killed everything with WinCE. Miraculously, I was then was able to fire up Activesync.

I soft reset the Axim and connected, then waited (I hate waitng and I hate syncing) while Avantgo wasted my time.

I ran Intellisync and this time no errors, but I had new entries X 4 on all several of my Lotus Addresses... and they carried over to the Axim. Uggg! Did I mention that I detest Lotus Notes? :angry: :angry:

I got rid of the duplicates, and resynched via Intellisync. It synched well.

Now, I'm trying to figure out why new calendar entries in the Axim aren't synchronizing with my Lotus Calendar (I hate Lotus Notes so much that if it were human, I'd slap the taste out of its mouth).

Was the upgrade worth it? I'm not sure yet. I now get the added feature of an "enter" button. Big woop. I never use those buttons anyway, other than to play games.

Would I do the upgrade if I knew the time and the grief involved, for an enter button, and a few other features that don't really add value to my life? Probably not.

The ROM upgrade will probably benefit those with the new processor. I'd probably be happier with my upgrade if I was able to utilize the newer processor.

So those with A1 or B2 stepping, think long and hard before you upgrade.

Wisemen say: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." That applies to every possible aspect of life (ask me about "upgrading" my headlights my Jeep... a 7.5 minute job that ended up taking 4 hours because of a snapped bolt).
