Just upgraded from .247. Got rid of the junk with CrackMem and then DM 5 for the rest. Seemed quicker than usual, with the backup option unchecked about 15 minutes all in all.
Still early days but memory after a few pulls is up to 51.8 vs 47.3 (both after idling for a few minutes), pictures on the memory card load up faster and after a pull it takes about a minute to get to the security check vs about 2-3 minutes on .247.
BUT...Did get an error ("uncaught exception error service in use" or something, thats all I remember) after the first two pulls but once I restored my backup and restarted it was no more! Figured it was probably one of the 13 apps installed which needed the restore for my custom settings.

I've loaded .266 had to do a battery pull after it was loaded to restore the calendar and the home screen image. Mind you the boot time was less then 2 mins. Amazing!

It could be nothing... but since this upgrade I have finished a busy day with 50% battery remaining - this never happened with the previous release. Me thinks this is nicer to the battery

Calendar Invites
I just upgraded my .266 beta with the final .266 using DM 5 with Windows 7 RC1 7100, and the upgrade sort of went okay. The only thing that didn't get loaded was all my calendar info.
Not a big deal...just had to input everything again. But now I notice that when I make a new calendar entry, there is no option to invite attendee's. Is this something that is new with the OS or what?

You loaded the same OS. .266 is .266 regardless if it's a beta or an official carrier release. I feel like I already said this once in this thread
Take a look here:

6. I loaded a "beta" and now my carrier has released the same version. Do I need to reload from my carrier so I don't have a beta?
No. If the version numbers match, then there is NO difference between the version that you loaded that wasn't yet released and the version that's official from a carrier's (even your carrier's) website. If anything was to change in the OS RIM would issue it a new version number. In this case, you just magically went from "beta" to "official."

Well, when I installed the release OS, it said that the CORE files needed upgrading.
But that wasn't my real question.....is the invite thing gone in the calendar? Or is it just my OS that was screwed during the upgrade? I can't even sync my calendar to my Outlook anymore....just contacts.

My upgrade must have gotten screwed up as that isn't even listed when I do that. Must of had something to do when re-loading everything. I'll trying doing a downgrade, then upgrade again and see if that fixes my problem.

If your computer did a normal backup during the update process, you should be able to go back and extract that calendar info and simply reload it on to your device. I make it a practice to force a backup prior to upgrading the OS, which in effect gives me two backups in case one gets messed up. In fact, after this upgrade there was no calendar data on my device, but since I had it saved, it was a snap to restore.

why aren't your guys calendars synced up to outlook? Then have that saved, if the calendar is so important you really should do that.

Upgrading now - stuck at the "Wait for device initialization" - red light on the bold, nothing else going on. Will leave it for a while and update once it changes.
UPDATE: Battery pull resolved the red light/waiting. Went back to normal and completed. Just going through activation and we should be back to normal!
