Yes, a lot of imaginary people can do it, but you're not one of them.

You're stuck with 4.1 PERIOD. I just saw the sj33 in CC today. Looks somewhat thick, but I like it overall. The buttons are a little small, but it seems like a good pda.

You might be able to change to OS 5 if you completely replaced the CPU (which would mean replacing the board) __________________ Nothing is impossible for the man who will not listen to reason

If you want OS5 then you need to buy a device designed to run it. __________________ A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. Sir Winston Churchill

This means that any PDA with a Dragon ball processor can not run OS 5. All of the upgrades to OS 4 (4.2 and 4.3) were still upgrades on a Dragonball, just as any upgrade to OS 5 will still only support ARM. It is a hardware issue so there is not much anyone can do about it.

Knowing Sony's constant tinkering with their devices we can expect to possibly see an OS5 SJ33 like model before the end of the year, along with an updated NX series that has Bluetooth and other tweaks and many other devices. __________________ The life and times of an obsessed PDA owner; Visor Deluxe, N760C, T615, Compaq iPaq 3850, T665C, NR70V, SJ30, Tungsten \| T, NX70V, Tungsten \| C, TG50, Tapwave Zodiac 2. That is roughly how it's gone. Yes, I do need professional help, or a bigger wallet. Or win the stinkin' lottery.

Means those are the only devices currently available that are capable of running OS5, that I am aware of.

I don't think anyone here has been able to do it. Perhaps you should ask someone that you know that has done it.
