No Axim happiness

I thought I'd give WM 5 another chance before reverting back to WM2003SE. I hard reset the device, and reinstalled everything. For awhile things looked promising, but it did not last long. I continued to have the same problems as before: dropped CF card, refusal to turn on, spontianious battery drain when turned off, etc. I'll have to wait for a ROM update before trying again... and now back 2003SE.
