Newbie, starting from scratch, WM5 or WM6???

[aclinml]

Hi all, newbie here. I will be receiving my first PPC phone soon, an
AT&T 8525. I will be installing a lot of the cool software I have seen on this site. My first question for the forum is, it will come with Windows Mobile 5 installed on it, Should I go ahead and install WM6 on it before I do anything else to the phone??
I will be starting from scratch, so I thought maybe that would be the best time to do it. What do you think?

Also, does part of the update process backup the WM5 environment on the phone, in order to restore should problems with WM6 occur?

Thanks for the help for many questions to come,
Mike

yes, install wm6 first before doing anything else because if you dont, when you DO decide to upgrade to wm6, it will wipe all of the info you took the time to add... save yourself a step and start out right. Welcome to the site.
