althow it has been commented many times i can't find a good link to download mpx200 wm5 .
can someone give me a good link for downloading the three parts of wm5.
the install guide and motorola mobile update wizard 1.3 is all i have.

another thing i want to insall wm5 because in my wm2003 i have some programs installed that i can't remove and i want to start over with a clean windows installation.
when i install wm5 the previews wm2003 installation will be deleted ? because i want to remove all that was before in the phone and card and start a fresh clean install of wm5.
i have a 128 sd card.
thanks in advance.

Well, I can't help you with WM 5 although i've heard it's better but takes awhile to boot up. I am also having trouble finding firmware upgrade links. Can you tell me where you got your WM 2003 for starters? I can't find it on the web anymore. Email me at CBakes04@msn.com if you could and i'll let you know if i find anymore on WM 5. I know on MGM you can buy it from a guy who found it on the web somewhere but thats about all i know. So please get back to me about WM 2003 firmware upgrade if you could. Thanks.

from what i can remember, when i had tried to upgrade to WM5 on my mpx200, i had 3 files and updated it using the moto update wizard.

my 64meg SD card worked fine and the os installed fine, it was a little slow and unstable to me, lagging here and there and the startup times would differ from seconds to minutes. i remember doing a LOT of googling to find the WM2003 and the WM5 os's, drop me a pm i might have a site for you

So you mean this can work with any wm 2003 phone, e.g Siemens SX66 etc?

sorry Adam&Eve, cant really say, the Mobile OS's i have, and use were only installed on a Moto MPX200, i never really had access to other pda/smart-phones to test them out on. If i can recall correctly, a forum or website i used to visit said something about certain OS-Roms only working for certain phones but dont quote me on that for some reason it seems and sounds wrong, but i cant recall properly.

The MPx200 i bought came with Windows 2002 Mobile on it already, and after some searching, i found and update for 02, as well as 03' and WM5. WM2003, to me, was the most stablest against WM5. I still use my MPX200 (my razr is dead :[ i think ) and it has WM2003.

If you have access to the roms, i guess you can experiment and try flashing WM5 to that Siemens and see how it works out for you. If i had an extra phone and a Siemens, i wouldnt mind experimenting
