Correct?
I realize, since it is a Beta, that users are "installing at their own risk". However, if it wipes sideloads out of the gate, that would be a deterrent to me.
- Browser is faster. After I let the pages load, I get no checkered board.
- OS overall seems a tad bit snappier
- can someone confirm if camera finger zoom worked on the last os? Cause its not working in this beta
Calendar is buggy, tried setting a recurring appointment that went from friday 3pm through monday am and repeated every two weeks and it changed from a 4 day appt. To an hour. Even if i put the 4 day appt. In first then went back and edited it wouldnt set it properly, seems adding the recurring part screws it up. ....
As im typing now its struggling to keep up too..only the browser open..pauses as im typing then catches up.... Weird.

Will report more upon finding more
Odd, I just tried a browser comparison with my two pbs, one on the beta and one on 2.0.1, the old os loaded the pages faster on each site I tried. Still mucho checkerboarding for me as well. Try thechive.com, let the pages fully loaded and then scroll.
Not sure what you mean about the finger zoom, 2.0.1 had a scroll bar for the zoom. Let me know and I can try it out, I have both right next to each other.

All of my apps stayed, don't have any side loaded though. I chose not to do a backup since I don't have anything on my 16gb that I care about loosing.
Just noticed that with only the browser open on both os versions with the same page loaded that 2.1 has 466mb free memory compared to 350mb on 2.0.1.... Not the most scientific experiment but still interesting.

that page showed some checkerboards.. probably because of the amount of the media on it.
But even then, the "refresh" of the checkerboards to me seemed faster to go away than 2.0. Maybe its just my Brain.

I may be confusing this with my Torch, but if you open the Pic Cam on the PB, i know it shows the zoom bar, but can you use your finger instead to zoom in/out by sliding it on the screen?

The torch camera has this, not the pb.
Side note, can't find any evidence of the bridge sms
Messages app has a search for folder box, and navigating folders has a picture of a file folder with a refresh icon which loaded the messages in the folder, messages appearing in folders is improved. There are also some nice improvements to the icons in messages app. Spell checker identifies two words stuck together and shows suggestion of the two words so one click fixes this, a nice touch. PS I have messages synced to a Gmail account.
I, and others, were having problems with PB remembering saved wifi networks. This seems to be fixed (I hope). Boot time is better, though still way too long.
