so I have DL it to a BES enabled device, the only thing I can tell is different is compose SMS comes straight up, so Im thinking the order of the menu is a little different??
feels a little more responsive?? erm... thats about it at the moment.
oh loading up movies seem pretty quick. really cant tell a whole lot of difference at the mo.. im sure someone will enlighten me!

did i mention the "makes me a cup of coffe app?"
oh yeah....it don't have that!

when are they going to do a version when you can edit your short cut menu for apps yourself.. ie currently n = Messenger on bb, (highly logical...!?) I want , F = Facebook
N = NOTES!!!!!

first problem ever with a OS: I tried 2 times modifying a contact by including a birth date. Both times the phone freeze and the only solution was to pull the battery out.

[Digital Jedi]

well it only took 14 attempts to download it... UK gets 90Kbps on a good day from RIMS website... !
they do really need to sort it out!

[raygnlz]

so what are the new features? can anyone list them?

[niteqwill]

Battery life is MUCH better for me! So far 1.5 days and only at 50%. This looks like a keeper!

Hi

I have downloaded the new OS and then followed the procedure that you click loader and delete vendor ect...but all that did was load up my applications like google apps ect and it said it was updated in 30 seconds. On the page where everything is downloaded to there are lots of small files that say loaderres1028 all the way to loaderres2070 to they have to be added into the loader?

thanks

When people say their battery life was improved, it would be helpful to know what OS they upgraded from.

Hello,
I live in Europe right now, and I need to upgrade my OS (to get a better battery life ... ), but there is only the East Asia version. What's the difference ? How it will affect ?

Many thanks ;)

Its just that you can load the additional languages. When upgrading, just leave the languages you dont want.

Or better yet, not claim this at all. How can you tell that the battery life is better within a day or 2 of installing a new OS? There are also many variables that affect battery life, including usage of various apps/functions, where your BB is (searching for signals, etc.) and the like.

Nevertheless, EVERY new OS release (beta or official) will always be accompanied by gushing reports that "everything is so much FASTER!" and battery life is "WAY BETTER!" Take these reports with a grain of salt. Aside from very early device OS upgrades, pretty much every OS I've installed shows, at best, marginal improvements in speed and/or battery life. Often there is no real discernible difference. (Sometimes connectivity or wifi/network switching seems better, though).

I am boring old fellow: I use my phone the same time each day, send the same "reply all" emails to my colleagues, use google maps or poynt to find food while traveling, play games while sitting on the can, and use the camera to take pictures of my travels. (I work for the gov't)

With that said, my battery life HAS improved. Coming from my last OS (.206), which would barely get me through the day, I'm 1.5+ days from my last charge and I'm only at 30%. So take it as you will, my personal experience is noted.

DrMoze:
Users ask for feedback on these new OS, regardless of how far fetched it is, it IS feedback. Sorry you're so butthurt.

the best feature is being able to use the menu button as a select key in the menu area.

How?
