I have a Dell Axim 50V and am using TomTom Navigator 5 with a BT-338 Bluetooth GPS device.
I use dt use TT3 with no problems.
Since upgrading to TTN5 I initially had difficulties getting the GPS device working with TTN5 although it worked 100% with TTN3.
I had also read about lock ups on the VGA mode (I dont think it is just Dell's though) however I found a link describing how to remove a registry key removing the VGA setting for TTN5.
I have been using it TTN5 all week on several journeys of at least an hour each and it has performed faultlessly.
I think that removing the VGA mode has made the display detail larger which I actually like. I can read it better on the move.
But still will look forward to TomToms bug fix which I hope is soon.
