Hmmm... This is what I have noticed so far Compared to .85

BB Browser - Much Faster than, seems to have corrected some formatting issues that I had with Engadget, BGR, and Gizmodo. Wow!

Camera - Transparent Status Bar (Pretty Cool Looking)

Overall Performance - Seems much snappier than .85 ... Need to keep it up for a couple of days to verify this more and check for memory leakage (.85 was a hog!)

i've never experienced memory leak issues...or random glitches while browsing thru the phone...the only problem is a random APP ERROR i get from Viigo...which is both on Viigo and the OS...but .85 is fine for me...it's just intimidating that my spell checker can be uninstalled...

but yea the guys at CB were trippin out...i guess everyone experiences a different degree of the problem...or different problems all together...

My spellchecker was not removed, it's still there for me.

Upon using if for almost a full day I have noticed a new bug. Now when I disconnect from my car's bluetooth, the blue LED continues to flash and so will the red LED even though I have read through my messages. This happened to me last night and this morning.
After having the flashing LED bug, i did a battery pull. Guess what, memory card freeze was back. happened 2 reboots in a row, so on the third I removed the memory card and it booted fine. Luckily it booted into EDGE that time too (not edge which it likes to do often and it wont connect to EDGE without another reboot)

HAHA. Can't find EDGE. It is a VZW phone in the states why would it look for EDGE. CDMA for life.

Camera app now has a transparent HUD and it seems overall a bit faster to use and take a picture.

I agree .86 is more stable in my experience than .85..... I have noticed my keyboard issues have resolve with this build (I would get multitap instead of suretype... always). And when unlocking my BB it it much faster now.

Frig, I went back to .76 from .86 this morning for the following reasons:

1. Still had issues with swiping within messages (slow and unresponsive).
2. The message indicator continued blinking even when all messages were read (after disconnecting from my Bluetooth device).
3. The Bluetooth indicator continued to blink after disconnecting.
4. Noticed a big hit on my battery.

I think I'll wait until the next release.

upgraded to .86, seems a little snappier and the browser is most definately improved.

no lockups or memory leaks.

Getting close to primetime!!!

I can see .87 being an official release.......

Edit: Checked my application memory and it increased from 46mb to 50+mb when I upgraded from .85 to .86.

RE: #1....

My swiping in .86 works better and faster than ever for me. What exactly was your problem?

zduchene · 01-13-2009, 12:15 PM

Just upgraded...so far so good. The rotation of the screen seems better the keyboard also seems better...have not messed with the browser yet.

Swiping was very slow and at times unresponsive and/or choppy. I could select emails but i could not swipe the screen. It would eventually move but very unpredictable. Did not see this in any other applicaiton other than messages.

jsntrenkler · 01-13-2009, 12:38 PM

Have had this OS now for 12 hours and still very happy!

jaylasad · 01-13-2009, 01:12 PM

It seems like i cannot create a new folder in this release.

Edge or cdma its all the same phone. Just stating what I see with these beta OS'es, so they can fix the problems for all of us. I can see how your comments contribute.

jaylasad · 01-13-2009, 04:28 PM

I know that, but when you hit save, it just does not create the folder, or at least this is what's hapening on my device.

stormson · 01-13-2009, 05:14 PM

After a few hours of use, it appears they smoothed somethings out, but I am experiencing glitches with the AIM application and it is lagging a bit.

Memory leaked from 50 to 37mb in 6 hours.

Thinking about going back to .85, it ran beautifully on my device
