    Got my hands on an old Windows mobile 5 device and thought I'd take a try on it.

    Any tips on any recommended apps to install?

    TCPMP
    Resco File Explorer
    Finger Friendly Friends
    PHM RegEdit
    Battery Status

    Not sure it will work on WM5, it should.

    SPB Diary - is absolutely wonderful for me.
    eWallet - to keep my important details.

    Get a bluetooth GPS for RM300 and install :
    1. MapKing 2007 + malsing maps- For navigation
    2. CacheMate - for Geocaching

    Oh, you'd want to watch out for which ActiveSync version you install tho.
    On some machines, some versions just don't work.

    I find GoogleMaps to be useless unless you use GPRS or 3G. :o

    Yup, you'll definitely need GPRS, EDGE or 3G to use GoogleMaps. But it's useful even of you don't have GPS :D

    But GPS is all I need, unless they have traffic report, then I will consider data connections.

    Well, sometimes I cache the maps of the place I need to go and view it when I reach there

    I think you can only upgrade if the manufacturer offers the upgrade ROM.
