I've notice today that HP has released updates for various models for WM 5.0 since May 15. Has anyone tried updating their device yet?

Yes, many people have upgraded their devices with it. Search (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/search.php) for "iPAQ Windows Mobile 5.0" with the 'search for all terms' option selected. There should be a number of threads where people discuss the pros and cons with upgrading.

I installed both updates, but other than having the battery draining issue again, I don't see any improvements. SD card problems still occur, and I don't see a difference in speed or the already slow startup (wakeup) and after soft reset time, which are still the most annoying.
I have an hx2755 upgraded to WM5.
