Default Should i go back to os 5?

I got my Blackberry 9700 in August and the person i brought it from from OS 6 on it. Ive always wondered if os 5 was any better. I heard it made the phone last longer and speed it up. Do you think its worth it to try to put os 5 back on it?

Thanks.

os 5 is more stable then os 6 on the 9700 due to the memory ....the best way is to try it yourself and compare.....

Plenty of threads on this. Just try it out for yourself and then make a decision on your own. You'll only get "this is better" or "that is better" and other mixed reviews/choices.

I find OS6 much better; try version .668 - shrink before install with BBbos...

You should enjoy!

Yeah, too reasonable. Totally agree with you.

I had os6 too and i downgraded it, it's a little bit faster but the os6 has better functions.
Don't downgrade it because os6 is much better.
I want to update my phone again..
