Dell did it again: first with new OS - this time Windows Mobile 5.0
June 22, 2005 [Pocket PC] | By Edward J. R.

Previously Dell was the first company to offer upgrade to new Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Dell Axim X30 Pocket PC devices. This time Dell is guaranteeing that Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade will be sent to you on CD-ROM if you buy Dell Axim X50 or X50V Pocket PC now!

Unfortunately mobile phone operators and distributors of Windows Mobile phones don't offer such solution: "buy now and we guarantee that you will get upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0 later", and that's why we advice you: do not buy Windows Mobile phone if you have no guarantee that there will be upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0 available!!

Dell writes:

Get a FREE Windows Mobile 5.0 Upgrade CD ($39.00 value) when you purchase a new Axim X50/X50v. Purchase a PDA today and your upgrade CD will ship in October when available (CD shipping extra).

Be one of the first to benefit from the new features of Windows Mobile 5.0 software by taking advantage of this limited time offer.

Your X50/X50v will ship to you today with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition software installed. Your Free Upgrade CD will then ship to you, for an additional shipping charge, in October allowing you to upgrade your device from the current operating system to the new operating system by simply using the installation CD.

Conclusion: Dell is the biggest computer manufacturer in the world for a reason - good service. Unfortunately the same service is not offered by people who sell Windows Mobile phones, so customers should protest and withhold purchases until it will be certain that they will not be stuck with outdated version of operating system for ever...
