i was really skeptical about the touchscreen at first but i LOVE it now, im getting the same battery life as everyone else has mentioned. Cant wait for some more apps to come out. Im glad i picked up this phone and i really love the 40% off i get each month. ---

I bit the bullet and loaded it. It was a tad slow initially but I think that was because it was still syncing with the BES. It seems VERY responsive now. More so than with the .75 release. The accelerometer does seem to hang up with this new build. The camera is MUCH faster (like 100% faster). There doesn’t seem to be any lag when hitting the shutter button. That’s all I’ve played with so far. ---

Just installed 4.7.0.86. Locking and unlock of the screen is MUCH better. I noticed they made the shutter button/bar on the camera transparent too. Seems pretty quick. I like it. :tup: Rumor has it there’s an official release coming on the 15th. ---
