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...!
