How to upgrade Windows Mobile software on iPAQ?

Have iPAQ hx2000 series running WinMobile2003; purchased 2005. How do I install the new OS without destroying or losing my current data? People have said it's hard. Does it make sense to buy a new PDA instead??but they're so pricey! If so, which PDA that runs on WIndows Mobile OS would you recommend? And which products give great customer service (have not been pleased w HP). Thank you so much! Alternatively, should I leave the PDA's behind and buy a "smart phone" or Blackberry? Thank you so much!

1. If you are looking to update the system software (aka Rom or Windows Mobile build) you are going to lose all your data, the best bet is to backup using PMbackup or something of the sort before updating.

2. I'd look on XDA for a rom or update for a iPaq. I have a older HX4700 and I got it updated to Windows Mobile 6.5 on there...

welcome to the site! i would ditch the pda, any winmo (windows mobile) phone is like having a pc in your pocket (hence the ppc ). get a tp2 or hd2, the 2 best winmo phones ever made.
