Come back OS5. All is forgiven.

That's all I have to say.

Is OS6 on the 9700 that bad?

[ODAAT]

One day it will be awesome. Right now it is practically unusable. I push my phone fairly hard though so others may disagree.

I never considered my self a light user but I've only had a couple of small issues with OS6 and overall I'm happy with it. What made it "practically unuseable" for you?

6 for the 9700 is basically unusable in its current state. So far:

* BBM QR scanner only works for bbm barcodes (a step down from when it scanned all compliant QR)

*Apps lose their ability to invoke the menu (UberTwitter, Google Voice)

*3P apps will access the camera once, then not again till battery pull

*no themes

*Podcasts tool treats every episode as its own series (holy annoying, Batman)

I'll be going back to .979 later today. Hope the next 6 leak addresses at least one of these issues.

I guess people use their phones in different ways. I think OS6 is awesome and have almost no difficulties. Still rough in some areas, but it's not even a first release. For others: "unusable." OK.

I installed os6 and it was too buggy, to slow i just couldnt habdle it. First time i installed a leak and had a very bad experience with the leaked os6 for my 9700. Now i installed the latest official and its woriking great. For sure i will get the os6 later, but when it become official, never a leak again.

New gripe: Doesn't send MMS the same way, and new way doesn't work with older BBs. Just sent a picture as a "text message" to person running. 5.x on a curve, and no picture was attached.

I too am back to OS 5. I really want to like OS 6, and if they iron out all the wrinkles it will be nice, I have to admit. But 'til then, I'd rather have functionality then just something new to play with and make sacrifices for 100% functionality. Obviously this is just my opinion.

I haven't had any issues with OS6. I love it.

I haven't had one issue with os 6, I'm really enjoying it. Its fast, responsive, and I love the browser. As for my opinion on the fourm users I don't think any os build will ever totally please anyof youz. But to each their own

It's mostly up to app developers to make their apps run os 6. I personally use really no 3rd pary apps and 6 is a blast for me!

I would not go back to 5 even if you forced me to!

[euthanasia]

Could only handle os6 for a day and turned back to os5. For me the dealbreaker was the web browser, it gave this "too big for device" error almost for every website and I found this new "auto column view" thing to be not my cup of tea.

Other than the web browser I was expecting to use this wireless media sync feature, tried it, not for me.

Social feeds etc. stuff are kind of uneeded on my side either because I don't have any problems with the twitter apps I'm using, and I'm using google reader for rss.

I'm sure they'll improve a lot of stuff once a official release happens but until then I'm happy with 5

[ODAAT]

Whilst waiting for OS5 to download, I tried deleting an occurrence of a repeating calendar entry on OS6. It won't delete. Ridiculous.

[sHaMr0x]

I've been using OS6 for about 2 days now and I haven't noticed anything wrong with 3rd party apps. At least not with the ones I use (Urbanspoon, Poynt, etc.). The only annoying thing I've seen is all this web2go junk that clutters up the browser bookmarks. It may just be a TMO thing, but it's annoying as ****.
