So, in eXtremePPC style, forget the convoluted solutions offered by Microsoft and others, and get eXtreme! Here is an eXtremely Simple solution:

Yes!!! The wizards on xda-developers.com have done it again. For those of you who do not know, mamaich and company have successfully hacked up a WM5 software load for the HTC Blue Angel class of pocketpc phones.

The upgrade process is non-trivial and not without risk, but definitely worth it in my opinion.

After reviewing the experience of those who took the leap (including many who decided to revert back to WM2003 SE), I decided to give it a shot this morning. Well, after several hours of use and tweaking, this puppy is staying on my machine beta or not!!!
