A lot of the programs I was using before I had a wm5 device had updated versions. If they didn't, they just didn't fill up the screen, which may - or, may not - be OK. It depends on how bad you want to use it or, if there isn't a suitable replacement.
The one thing that did not work going from my wm2003se MPx220 to wm5 was the RJShortcut plugin for the homescreen.
I loaded my new wm5 phone up and all seemed to be going well. I used it all day long and it was great. I turned my phone off at the end of the day and when I tried to turn it on the next day it hung before it got to my homescreen. I had no idea why?
So, I hard-reset and loaded my phone up again. This time checking after I loaded each program that didn't have a wm5 update. All went well! So, I used it the rest of the day...turned it off...turned it back on the next morning and it hung.
So, I reloaded my phone AGAIN. This time stopping after EVERY program and it all worked great. What the...?
So, I added my homescreens and sounds last like I'd been doing all along. Turned off my phone and turned it back on. It hung.
OK, so, I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes.
I RAN to Sprite and bought the wm5 version. Then, I sat down and loaded my phone in a sensible way (making backups after each successful step). This way I could always use the latest backup as a starting place. I started with things that weren't gonna change first (personal information etc) then started adding my programs. I finished...added my homescreen and finally it hit me...the problem was my homescreen.
More specifically RJShortcut. There hasn't been a wm5 update for that plugin yet. This one though, just about killed me!
Now, I'm not afraid to try new things 'cuz I can always use my Sprite backup and be back up and running in just a few minutes. I'd been a hold out...but this experience made a believer outta me!
