Most have stated that this OS is faster. I also noticed some reported noise in the ear piece. Wonder if it's worth it to upgrade from .131 ot this version. How much faster is it?

Installed .160 this morning, seems to work great. Only issue Ive run into is under Options, when I click About, nothing happens. Everything else seems to work perfectly though.

A lot of ppl commented on how fast the update completed, myself included. I was like, wow, done already?

If you are not experiencing any problems, you might as well stay with .131. However, I have noticed that I have about 5MB more free memory now than I had with .131.

You must've used CrackMem to remove the VAD (Voice Assisted Dialing), that disables the About screen. From Home screen , hold down Alt, then lt shift, then press H.

160 is a keeper

Update
Maybe not a keeper ,
Went into profiles setting ring tone reminders,I Get half way through set up and all sound went mute.Did batt pull ,Went into profile getting same results half way through setup in profile "Normal"


Update
As seen below I Have "Loud" profile active yet there's no pretty colored dot in front of "Normal" Profile






Update
Well I got it working getting all ringtone reminders set up in "Normal" profile...there bug in 160 profiles so be careful setting up.
Deffantly send yourself text to make sure sounds present after you get setup complete just to be safe
Cool. What theme is that?

Is this a known issue? My Curve has been doing this a lot lately and with a good signal.

Not too many reports of this with this OS. Just do a reset by pulling your battery out with the power on, wait 30 seconds, reinstall battery. It did this for me on .138 as well.

Yep, that's what I typically do, but it usually returns shortly. It started when I installed one of the .130 updates. And it happened again last night after installing .160, but has not returned since pulling the battery. Crossing my fingers now.
