First, thanks for the reply so far!
I would like the added features of Mobile 5.0; however, the slowdown is quite severe for me, I will elaborate just in case others who are looking to upgrade need a little more evidence for risk assesment. Again, I do have 4000 contact records and Win 2003 had ZERO issues doing what I wanted with NO delay.
When I go into contacts and try to type in letters so the list starts sorting for any matches, with Mobile 5.0, I can only type one, maybe two letters before the thing freezes and does nothing for a period of time (usually at least 10 seconds), and then if I hit a third letter before I wait for the display to start to show some results, the third letter will some how repeat and give me a wrong result after waiting for another 10-30 seonds. Then when I try to hit the backspace key to delete the duplicated letter it takes another 10-30 seconds to resort the list again. Which by now that the list of sort results is shorted, when I type letters after the first three, it seems to react a little quicker. So I am sometimes waiting for 30-90 seconds to look up one name, this is not an option while I am driving, or on a conference call and need to look up another persons number...
Also, my calendar was a bit slow, but not as severe as the contact searching.
Aside from that, my other software (List Pro, eWallet, excel) worked fairly real time.
Hope this helps and good upgrading...!
Steve
