Rebooted and it's good now. Not sure what would have caused it to happen. That's Beta for ya

At end of a full day with this now. I *do* like the UI improvements, subtle as they might be, as well as a few tweaked features (more control over profiles, etc). I'm disappointed that FB isn't working on it yet, but I can live without that. I'm more annoyed that links embedded in html emails aren't clickable -- likewise, they're not clickable in Viigo articles.

I can't click on links in Google mobile app search results. Not sure if that's Google's fault or the way it interacts with this beta release, but it's definitely disappointing that I can't use Google properly now. I've got 3.3.38 version of Google Mobile App installed, and just realized that 3.4.8 is available, so I'll give that a try and see if it works better under 5.0.0.100.

Rebooting now..back in a few mins with an update...

(added after reboot / new install of google mobile app): No joy: still cannot click links in search results page with latest 3.4.8 build when using on 5.0.0.100 BB OS... (*sigh*)

Too much to ask to open the browser and use Google that way?

I know this is a really early beta, and should expect issues. Just finding this a bit more buggy than I'm happy to deal with. Issues I continue to have include:
- Docs To Go no go
- Facebook no go
- No clickable links in Google Mobile App search results
- No clickable links in HTML email
- Also ran into trouble with stored phone numbers that use an embedded "wait" character. For example, my land-line voice mail dial in is comprised of several parts:
-- initial number to call -- then wait
-- then a "*" must be entered -- then wait
-- then my "mailbox" must be entered (this is my land-line phone number) -- then wait
-- then my password must be entered

I have this all set up in the phonebook entry in the blackberry, so I can easily check my land-line voice mail from the road. I do so by starting the dialing from the phone book: it connects then waits for the next part, I hit the trackball and it sends the next part, etc. until all voicemail system prompts have been answered.

I just tried this under 5.0.0.100, and ran into problems. It got confused, and got stuck sending one of the digits -- and kept sending a continuous tone. I could not interrupt or stop it, and finally had to resort to a battery pull and reboot.

To top it off, I installed what I recall to be 5.0.0.8 version of desktop manager along with Roxio (ugh) media manager. The Roxio install apparently put several items on my machine that seem to be eating up tremendous resources, and interfere with Outlook several times a day, causing it to freeze for several minutes at a time.

I love the new features in 5.x.x.x, but don't think it's worth the aggravation right now. Thinking I'll fall back to 4.6.0.250, not without some regret. But I need the whole environment to be a bit more stable if I'm going to use this for work...

EDIT: *sigh* -- hard to get rid of 5.0.0.x on the 8900. Considering now that I may just do without the parts that don't work yet, since I like the 5.x.x.x enhancements. Jury is still out on this, but as a start, I uninstalled Desktop Mgr 5.08 (along with Roxio), and installed 5.01 Desktop Mgr WITHOUT Roxio this time. The Roxio add-ins were eating my machine alive. We'll see how this version works.

Anyway -- it's 11:30pm, been a long day, and I'm too tired now to make a decision about downgrading the phone OS, so I'll wait till tomorrow to decide...

Weird -- I can zoom with 5.0.0.100 installed... it's a bit slow and tedious -- have to roll the trackball up quite a bit for zooming, but it does work...

When I'm looking at a picture and hit the menu button there no zoom option.

OK -- mine is just like that too, when I look at a picture via the Media Player / Pictures option. No zooming on an existing picture. What *I* described was zooming in on a subject in the camera prior to taking the picture.

Rotate IS there -- see below:

Interesting... I tried a few more keys with a picture loaded up in the viewer:
- "R" -- zooms in
- "W" -- zooms out
- "Z" -- zooms in a LOT in one click ("W" returns you to normal size in one click)
- "L" -- rotates the picture 90 degrees
- "N" and "P" give you next/prior pictures, respectively

Not sure how intuitive this all is, but it's nice to know the features are there...

Ok clicking the trackball zooms in but the rotating thing doesn't work on my bold. The only keys that do anything are p and n

[nick.dollimount]

Clicking the trackball seems to activate those shortcut buttons (which I used to use before in previous versions). But viewing another picture, they're disabled again until you click the trackball to zoom in. Definitely something they were probably half done when they compiled this version.

Mine works if I'm viewing the message list. If I'm replying to a message, holding down a letter capitalizes it, like it always has.

[vinmontRD]

Oh well.... I give up on 5.0.0.100 for now. Just too many points during the day where it freezes and requires a battery pull, or doesn't quite work right. It's been fun and I really like the feature enhancements -- and I can't wait to get a more stable version of 5.x. But for now, I'm done. I'm reloading 4.6.1.250 for now... :(

[nick.dollimount]

I'm still using it. Not having MSN sucks for sure but really not a big deal since there are so many other ways people can get a hold of me on it. I bookmarked the facebook mobile site which is actually QUITE well done so it's no biggy to have to use that for now. I just downloaded Viigo Alpha and it works great (so glad to have that back =D ) The only thing that's a bit annoying for me is that it s regularly reboots if I'm playing music over Bluetooth in my car. It's fine with headphones. The zooming issues aren't a huge deal for now. The speed of everything is way too good for me to give up this time. I'll be keeping it until the next one comes out or is hopefully released officially =D
