OK, my turn -- one period later (Sharks up 1-0) and a bowl of popcorn just popped, here's what I see so far.
- browser has a new "page view" and "desktop view" that are pretty neat, better than the old "preview mode"
- browser now remembers passwords! (htaccess popup style) there is a 'clear passwords' feature where you clear the cache to support this.
- media browser for pictures now has a 2-line status display at the top
- I have 2 blue folders called Instant Messaging, one fires up OZ IM, the other...well, it just shows a blank screen (empty folder?). Hid the icon, whatever.
- I think there are more White Balance options in camera setup now, I don't remember all of these from before
- I had 24meg free before on boot, now I have 30meg free. A backup decreased in size from 524K to 521K.
- 2007 DST patch is still installed -- do we still need this?
- OH JESUS LORD HALLELUJAH! I can now select alternative options in a radio button list from a generic J2ME application! This means I can finally, finally change the theme in the "Clock" program from freej2me.co.uk. This bugfix fix is an A++. This means I was just able to change the default in MidpSSH from SSH1 to SSH2. Finally.
- like LunkHead I'm having problems with SyncJe, have to beat on it a bit more
- the way SureType is displayed in various contexts is a lot better (italic for unknown/guessing, etc.) I like this a lot.
- pushing the red button while in an app launched from the icon menu returns you to the icon menu (previously in list menu, an item launched from list then red key would take you to the home screen).
- calculator UI is revamped, looks pretty cool
- battery pull bootup is a LOT faster.
The new icon menu in T-Mobile ZEN theme is taking a little getting used to, but I think I like it better than list mode; it's taking a lot less effort to get to an icon now at the expense of me having to learn what the icons are. Time to rearrange the menu again.
It's now end of 2nd period, popcorn is gone and we're are up 3-0 now. The Sharks like this upgrade too!
