The MS site says we are to go to the manufacturer's website for service patch, but I can't find anything on the Dell site. Has anybody else had any luck downloading PPC updates from Dell? Also, how do I determine which service patch is currently installed on my Axim?

Thanks.

The Axim is currently shipping with the latest version of Pocket PC 2002 so there are no End User Updates (EUU) required or available for the Axim at the present time.

There may be small fixes or updates specific to the device itself, not OS that can be downloaded such as the Navigation 5th button fix.

That's good. But I'm curious: do you know of any method for viewing ABOUT info, such as PPC version or Pocket IE version?

Go to System, Settings, About or System Info. This gives you the build of Pocket PC 2002 on your device under Version.
PIE is a system component so the build of the OS you have (mentioned above) determines which build of PIE you have. I don't think there is any About information in PIE.

HTH.

Cool. Mine says Pocket PC Version 3.0.11171 (Build 11178). So how am I supposed to know that this is Service Pack 3 for Pocket PC 2002?

If you have the bliss today screen and WMP(Windows Media Player) 8.5 you have EUU3. All Axims come with this already installed. There is no other OS updates as of now.

If MS don't release a version number with the updates, just compare your build with someone else who has the latest version.
If you have the Axim, this is a non issue as it comes with the latest build anyway.

Thanks, everybody. I'm just trying to gather info should I need to update my PPC later.
