Wow, I never thought they'd release it. Now I don't have to send skin suites off to be beta tested on WM5 devices (except when it comes to VGA phone versions).

Unfortunately, I plum forgot about getting the upgrade to my device last night, housekeeping got in the way. But I'm sure I'll get the upgrade by Friday

Does this mean there's new VGA WM5 suites in the works? With suites to match our WM Smartphones? :mrgreen:

Default Purchased CD Version...

I managed to purchase the CD version online this morning...Got a confirmation e-mail and everything. (Golly!) They say the CD will ship some time after 5 April.

This may not be critical in my case since I really want to wait for Chapura to update PocketMirror.

I will admit there were a couple of false starts with their links and pages.

Default SE_VGA doesn't work

I just got done ordering, downloading and installing the Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade for my iPaq 4700, and after reinstalling various programs, I've discovered to my dismay that SE_VGA doesn't work with WM5, which is a real disappointment. Has anyone found a way to enable true VGA on 4700s under WM5?

The guys at Aximsite has figured out a while ago how to run OZVGA under WM5.

Now that its available I'm tempted. Does anyone know if I can buy / dowload from the US to the UK? The ipaqchoice site for the UK still says 1st April. The download page says "worldwide english". Anyone from the UK tried?

Well, did it anyway, 332mb!!. Can't install it till the weekend anyway Doh! ops:

I hope it works on a UK iPaq too...as I just bought and downloaded it.

Actually just found a post on Brighthand that suggests it works just fine. Although I must say I'm not looking forward to resintalling WM5 versions of everything on my PPC...better be worth it...!

Now to poach somebody's Windows computer...I'm on a PowerBook and don't want to risk bricking it with Virtual PC!

Yep, there is an option in Regional Settings to choose English (United Kingdom) which gives you all the regional stuff like £ sign and so on...again found on that other forum...
