The last one I remember was for the HP iPaq hx4700. The new WM5 ROM crippled the device's performance. The community ended up having to fix it with homebrew WM6 ROMs. Miserable.

One of the reasons why I have moved my main device over to Apple iPhone - OK not as feature rich as a WM device - but they understand the importance of releasing upgrades - and I am looking forward to getting v3.0 ROM update in just a few months. WM has as far as I am concerned already become stagnant - with too little innovation too late for this market!

Agreed. I'll be paying $10 for the Touch upgrade to 3.0 even and I'm happy to do it. I sat around waiting for MS to get things sorted out for a long time (from WinCE 1.0 up to WM 6.1). I would have happily paid for upgrades of the significance that iPhone OS 3.0 represents. Too bad they were never available.
