Downloaded..seems fine so far.

YAY Slingbox working again. Was on .610 for the longest time because all updates till now, slingbox didn't work.

One thing I notice so far is that signal keeps moving up and down. Hopefully a hybrid will ix this.

awesome, i'll download it now and install it tomorrow and report back.

i've been using AE 822 hybrid for a few months with no problems. we'll see how this official one fares

My 9000 feels like a new phone. This is a solid build.

Browser is faster, and more battery life.

Sound bug was there until five battery pulls but now its fine...

Seems to be a good OS. Anyone know why shrink-an-OS won't remove my sample media?

happens randomly but when i boot up i keep gettin "uncaught exception" errors. also keep getting sound errors.for example all my message tonea will just change to this one low-chiming tone.annoying as ****.dont have a data cable right now so i gotta wait until i get 1 to change OS.frustrating..battery life is ok i guess.

All OS's receive praise from some and condemnation from others. I've had this release on my handset for at least two weeks now with no problems at all.
My problem with this (and other?) 5.0 builds is that ShrinkAnOs does not remove the sample wallpapers and preloaded ringtones!
