I’ve been using it now for not quite half a day. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is the keyboard lock function. (A*) is now how you lock the keys. Press and hold it in to lock it. The screen will then fade to black and lock. To unlock it you have to hit the Mute key at the top. As a Bold owner we all know that mute key works only sometimes and is hard to press in the first place.
My memory went from 25MB to 42MB and has settled down at 37MB. I can’t comment on battery life yet, but I did a full charge last night so we’ll see how it does today. Maybe they fixed the battery issue going all the way down when you re booted.

Also do you notice when you want to delete a message or go to options that the lettering is large except when you click on the command then you see the full word whether to delete it will say delet but when you high light it it will say delete.

Also I just noticed then when you lock the phone A* and put it in the holster and remove phone it automatically unlocks the phone.

They should make holster lock phone automatically and when you take it out unlock it automatically like it does now but you have to lock it manually first A*.

When you put phone into holster it seems to lock itself when you take it out it is unlocked automatically without hitting any keys.

Yes download to PC and make sure you delete the vendor file after you download.

Just search on BerryReview for instructions for this, or Google it. Some newbie asks this every time there is a new OS

Battery life has greatly improved in this release. My battery doesn’t drop when I re-boot and it seems to stay charged a lot longer. Plus, my memory is holding up better too. Still in the high 30s instead of the 20s like with the last release I had. Seems to be holding there too.

Hi, does it works with BB desktop (I mean sync) ? I tried 5.0.0.411 (I think) and synchronization did not work.
