Does RIM not read these boards, battery life SUCKS on .81 and .93, my phone will not make it a day on a full charge!!! Also the UMA to EDGE handoff sucks as well, it always drops my calls, if Iam on my Jawbone, and I leave the UMA area it drops the call and locks up my device. I have to pull the battery and reboot. The memory leak in .81 is horrible, and the only 3rd party app I have installed is the current version of Google Maps, on .93 its a little better. Come on RIM, let's get it together with the OS software. The .81 I feel is a subpar build, .93 is better but the device is slugish.

I waited for this official T-Mo release and upgraded the other day from the last official 4.2 T-Mo OS. I really love it but I don't like how the calendar randomly chose which email address to assign to each of my existing appointments! Yes, I can choose which email address/calendar to use when adding new appointments but you can't edit the old appts. So, I can't "show" or choose which calendar to view, which is fine since I only keep one calendar but what about those who have kids with different schedules and NEED to have the appts highlighted in diff colors as well as have the appts separated?
And, I am GLAD that the sample pictures and videos as well as wallpapers weren't included since I had gotten rid of mine when I optimized my memory. But my memory was almost 22mb with a bunch of apps installed and now my memory tops off at 16mb after a battery pull ( with the same apps as before). The memory leak is awful and with the same usage, I am at around 8mb within a few hours. I had given up on UMA before because of dropped calls and I was hoping to see an improvement but the handoff is horrible and drops calls.
My email doesn't show html, at least I don't think so. I don't notice much difference from my 4.2 emails (except the new alpha font is much clearer!) and images don't show.
As far as battery life, mine is just as good as before with regular non- Jawbone use BUT one thing I noticed is that if you keep your Jawbone on to make it quicker/easier to answer calls, it will suck your battery dry in no time at all and without warning (I'm talking mere minutes!). So I only use my BT when in my car and even then it is OFF until my phone rings.
That's all I can think of for now but otherwise I'm pretty happy with the T-Mo 4.5 and it will be a nice distraction for me until the Javelin comes out!!!
