Had to find out what this WM5 hype was all about. Here are some first impressions:

- Much snappier than WM6, at the price of all the eye-candy.
- Older version of PIE is not too exciting. Windows key doesn't appear to load the Start menu anymore in full-screen mode. Shortcut to address bar via context menu is also gone.
- Very noticable delay when going into Phone settings, takes a little bit before it figures out my Voicemail number (which is my phone number, anyway).
- I don't know if I'm just not used to it, but I don't like Verdana rendering in sections of webpages where Tahoma used to render. Is there a way to disable the Verdana font? It doesn't look nice on the small screen at all.
- Can we get Smartdial back? I found the Sidekick-esque dialing very convenient.
- No Microsoft .NET Compact runtime! I couldn't run my contacts backup app to load my contacts..
- DeviceLock (which locked the phone upon wake, and also one-click unlock) doesn't seem to work with WM5.

Most of the problems don't appear to be permanent and could probably be fixed quite easily. I'll stick around with WM5 and see how things go.
