It just came out, give it a day at least.

Posted by iAndrew27 Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

almost the same as the other os'
i just got it two hours ago
battery only lost 5% battery in the last two ours which is a positive for me
the stand by button doesn't work so i'm using the keyboard lock button on the opposite side of the stand by button and it works differently now. the keyboard lock button is like the new stand by mode i guess idk, but it works the same as it now
other then that i haven't found anything different about this os
my previous os .442 lagged a bit and use to freeze at times but since i updated to this os, it hasent dont that

btw the forums link seems to be down?

Posted by dkonigs Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

Still waiting for T-Mobile to offer me something officially newer than 5.0.0.330... I'm getting tired of having to live with "initial release" quirks that are no doubt long fixed by now. (of course I could just run a non-approved build, but I'd rather not with this device.)

Posted by KeNNethX Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

I got tired and went to another carrier's .423...so much better!

Posted by gerry702 Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

you'll be waiting awhile, my pearl 8100 hasn't had an upgrade from t-mobile in a couple years

Posted by gerry702 Sunday, Mar 07, 2010 706 days ago

install .423 it is an official release just not from t-mobile. i installed the day it was released and had no problems at all

Posted by Kirblar Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

when will this wretched 9530 drought be over. D:

Posted by Theme Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

Posted by ka3yan Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

I really like .442, but newer is better right? RIGHT?

Posted by nextgenius Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

Posted by Busterwolf16 Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

People notice all these "new features" as soon as a new OS leaks or is released. Some are legit - most seem to be exaggerated. "The pictures seem crisper..." or "The phone seems actually lighter in your hand now..." or "My girlfriend's voice sounds sexier on this build..." - gimme a break. lol

Posted by Crackberrier09 Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

lol my girl friends voice always sounds sexier everytime she calls me at night.

Posted by amccray5 Friday, Mar 05, 2010 708 days ago

"The phone seems actually lighter in your hand now..." Too funny. Appreciate the good laugh.

"The phone seems actually lighter in your hand now..." or "My girlfriend's voice sounds sexier on this build..." - gimme a break. lol"
I just spewed coffee all over my laptop and 9700....I hope the new OS makes my phone coffee proof.
Way too funny. Thanks.

On some builds - it was clearly easy to notice fuzzy thumbnails, or poor sound quality from the speakers. I had a S1 and now an S2. And I remember the super loud, super fuzzy speaker build. And I remember when they removed part of the color palette on the ap screen. And I remembered when they f-ed up the camera zoom, and I remember (b/c its still the case on our OS) that thumnails and album art have reduced quality in an effort to get them to load faster. BTW all of these things were SO CLEARLY VISIBLE only the uninterested and ignorant did not seem them on first glance. Hope I didn't offend anyone. If I did - LOOK SQUIRREL!

Any way funny about the phone feels lighter though.
