For what it's worth - 216 is the first OS that has caused my battery to drain faster, memory to leak faster and the dreaded "thinking" clock to come back. I never tried 215, but 214 was the most solid so far for me. I'm going back to 214 for now and will try again when 217 shows up.

Again, this is just my own experience. YMMV.

Regards,
Ian

Ran 216 for several days and kept getting the busy clock. Sometimes it lased over two minutes before going away. Went back to 210.

I'm still running 216 (haven't had a chance to downgrade to 214 yet). Just had my first reset ever on my Bold. 216 is definitely not working well for me.

By the way, anyone else experiencing EXTREMELY long reset cycles? My Bold takes over 5 minutes to complete a reset cycle.

This was my experience on .215, and .216 (could have been the same on .214, I just didn't notice). Reverted back to .210 and, by comparison, resets quite rapidly.

Downloaded .216 two days ago and everything is working fine with the exception of Live Search. With this upgrade it will no longer work. Maybe on the next .217 or higher it will return, but everything else works great....
