For what it is worth, I have DOWNgraded back to version 4.0 of the 7250 firmware. The reasons are:

1. Shorter battery life, especially in roaming areas
2. Less reliable bluetooth support (phone crashed a few times trying to answer calls via UConnect).
3. Problem w/ Task dates when syncing. The complete date wound up being a whacky 3096 year.
4. Trouble placing calls in roaming areas.

I'm sure some of this was solvable if I worked at it, but my 4.0 firmware is pretty reliable and I don't tether my 7250 (have a EVDO cell card for my laptop), so the EVDO speed wasn't worth much to me.

Keep up the great work in this forum! I'm glad to have the resource for playing w/ my Blackberry.
