On the plus side, I am not getting any warnings about lack of memory, which I got from a 4.6 official release about a year ago. This OS along with 592 lets memory get lower than I ever had before. These OSs must handle memory differently than earlier OSs and not hand off memory until absolutely needed.
After being initially elated about better memory use with .681, it would appear that .681 is no better than .592.
I found another problem with .592, if you listen to MP3s it would automatically switch to the voice activation thingy were it says "please say something now". And if you switched back to your audio by pressing the back arrow it would like the chipmunks. All sound from that point on the BB would be playing in high-speed mode. Too funny!
