Seems like there's a lot of issues (minor or not) with this upgrade, and even though the issues could be minor, it would still bug the hell out of me!
Hmmm....Honestly I think I would say Nay at this point. The SMS and MMS separate icon is cool if you get TONS of SMS, which I don't, except on weekends. The OS does seem speedier which is good. I actually feel like the media player is slower and I do not believe the camera is any better although you do get some more options, it is still the same grainy image. The web browser stuff is cool but a few people like me have extremely large fonts issue, and it makes it useless anyway. I don't like that I have to scroll across to see the whole page. Overall, Opera Mini is still superior.

I don't know if these outweigh the bad. Battery drain (my biggest issue), DST issues, exception errors when I exit GTalk are the most annoying. Additionally, taking away the list on the Zen theme sucked (again thanks Krad for helping me get it back). The ringtone thing doesn't bother me since I don't use them. Plus once I updated the device it took me a while to check everything and make sure it was all the way i liked it. I probably spent like four total hours on it on the Friday I did it.

I am on TMobile and the upgrade from .64 to the Cingular .71 was flawless, and I feel like this should have been before it was released.

I would go back but its a pain in the ass, so i will wait til another release comes out.
