I guess it is all a matter of opinion but you can do the same things that WM6/6.1 does with the proper software in WM5. So, my point is don't upgrade just to upgrade. Read alot of posts in the main and upgrade subforum to get an idea of the terminology, e.g. bootloader, kitchen, RUU, ext ROM, etc. So you can adequately describe a problem if you should have one. This tutorial is good for basic concepts, though new kitchens exist with slightly different procedures:

Anytime you change the ROM you have to reflash it. The carrier specific info is in the ROM so you don't need to reactivate. This forum is alot more active than xda and everyone is really helpful. Now start reading!
