Wondering if you should update or not? DON'T. It's that simple. My installation went fine, I resent service books etc.
I've used this for a couple of days and it's full of problems:
- browser window pops up...can't get rid of it no matter what you delete resend etc
- Applications become unresponsive for long periods of time randomly
- Hour glass pops up randomly even when you're not doing anything, like something's going on in the background. You can't press any buttons.
- Phone crashed a couple of times.
- Randomly when you place a call you won't hear anything and the other person won't hear anything even though it connects. Only a battery pull helps here.
- When entering symbols (pressing the sym key) things are extremely slow. They get so slow it gets xtremely hard to select any symbol.
- When using multitap phone becomes unresponsive randomly missing the second key press, thus you keep writing the wrong letter.
- Fonts are messed up. in the media view fonts are way too big no matter what font you select. The same goes for hte browser. Some titles take up half hte screen no matter what font choice.
- The media player will become unresponsive randomly when opening a new song...taking up to 20-30 seconds or more to do this. Haven't experimented with video.
- The camera seems slower overall.
- The music quality has gone to shit (like somebody turned the bass down to 0)
That's all I can think of right now. Overall this release has problems with my tmobile usa phone. Others might work better. So far, the negatives outweigh the advantages. I'm downgrading. I started feeling like I was using my piece of crap nokia N80 again....
To clarify one more thing...These things do not have a memory leak. A memory leak is when you open a browser window and it either crashes or it says out of memory. You guys are talking more about a storage leak. The more you use the phone the more temporary files it creates apparently. This is not a leak it's probably poor garbage management
. In 3 days available space went down from 21 to about 14 with this firmware. After a reboot it was back up to 21.
Use nokia phones for a couple of days if you want to see memory leaks.
