You'll get the latest versions of the apps.

You'll loose HP store though (the non volatile storage area). Otherwise you'll hardly notice any major changes.

Should be able to.

I actually have a WM5 HX2000 series upgrade CD which I'm looking to sell. It's full legit HP version. Feel free to PM me if interested, and I can arrange a private ebay auction to handle the sale.

You are more likely to find someone on the forums at www.hp.co.uk who has done this.

Please note, doing so will void your warranty - although if purchased in AP, and now used outside, you don't have global warranty anyway.
