That's cause it's a very early beta. not even *solid* like the other betas of 4.6. waiting for a bit won't hurt i reckon

Whether it hurts or not...I can wait. The .266 build works great for me!

ha ha true! i am very happy with .266!

[WebSurfer]

After using 5.0.0.93 for more than a week, I am heading back to .266 as well. The negatives on this beta far out-weigh the enhanced features. Battery life has been very poor and some background activity is causing the device to become quite warm. Memory leakage seems to be quite excessive as well. It is always fun to try the new beta's and I am sure I will jump on the next version of 5.0, but for now, I am ready to be back on .266!

my Bold's battery works better with .93, but i always had prob with browser "xml not well formed".

LoL

For some reason every build of 5.0 has had some kind of wonky effect on my profiles. First I just couldn't customize profiles on .55, then on .90 the custom alerts would work sporadically, today everything started out fine on .93 but I switched it to vibrate this morning from normal and when I switched back to normal it makes no freaking noise at all nor does it vibrate. What ... the ... hell?!?
And yes, I tried a battery pull. *shrug*

I don't understand why the heck so many people are jumping on this obviously not-ready-for prime-time beta when the vast majority of users are having issues...some severe!

At least when I loaded it, it was brand new.

Irrational behavior never makes sense.

My profiles are fine except for BBM doesn't make noise or vibrate when I get a new message. Weird. But I can kind of suck it up. Otherwise I am enjoying the latest build of the 5.0 OS even if it is a bit quirky.

I'm waiting...

I need it very much so I don't want risking installation if it is not going to work.

SplashData so far has not confirmed the compatibility to me.

[bsy2010]

Played around with it for a while and I like the new features. Was pretty stable as well, but .93 doesn't seem to support MDS. At least I couldn't find the option when installing the OS.
Will go back to 4.6.x tomorrow

[i2k]

Loaded this version, seems to be great so far.. true no Facebook or some other third party apps.. hopefully when FB 1.6 comes out soon it will work on 5.0

[JohnMarchant]

To flakey for me back to .239

[blured2000]

Using 5.0.0.93 since it leaked.

Apps that work for me:
Gmail 2.0.6
Google Maps 3.0.2
Opera Mini 4.2
Market Simplified 1.4.1
Slacker 1.1.23
UberTwitter 0.55 (twitterberry 0.9 also worked, but ubertwitter is way better)
WiFi
Palringo worked(the new version includes facebook chat), but I didnt like it so I dont have it installed anymore

Apps I wish worked:
Facebook 1.5 doesnt work as in the icon is missing, I didnt even bother trying 1.6
MSN Live & AOL messengers also dont work, icon missing

visual voicemail now says something like "configuring visual voicemail" but never finishes; I guess it's a step up from the "provisioning unsuccessful" msg.

some of the programs have issues with the profile settings as mentioned before, like when I set it to vibrate, bbm vibrates on first alert but then only does the LED thing afterwards.

there's the occasional browser freeze, but once I clear the cache it loads fast, and on wifi it's just crazy fast!

this alpha/beta OS has been pretty solid, no crashes or auto reboots.

[SBibbo]

In addition to the working apps everyone else has written I can happily add:

SlingPlayer
BerryWeather
SolMania
Garmin Mobile -EU
TeleNav
Ascendo English/French
Oanda Currency Converter

So far the only casualty is Facebook and I now have the HTML BIG font issue.

[morfy50]

Where is the icon for visual voicemail? I don't seem to have it on 5 (.93)
So far everything else, minus facebook, is working great.

Interesting. I'm also a fast typer. What it has in gorgeous white on back eye candy with the progress bar, it lacks in speed. How does it manifest itself in your case?
Thx!

Hello everyone,

I found another issue with this built, when I tried to pair the bluetooth headset with it, if found it, then ask for the code and when it tried to connect, the BB just rebooted. the same thing happen with other bluetooth devices and corrected when downgraded to 4.6

Regards
