Interesting that AT&T would release a new OS version since we are so close to OS 5.0 version being released... and their OS for the 8900 is not very old.

Downloading it now. No big expectations that it will be a revolutionary change from more recent OS releases. With AT&T only having released .231 not that long ago, I'm hopeful we'll see some sort of advantage.

Probably a bug that had to be addressed now

Just finished downloading it and haven't been able to get off the phone with several calls. Too soon to tell but so far no difference ... not even a bit "snappier" so far.

Did that for me too. Just tell it to use the old stuff. I think it doesn't understand the new .315 OS. I told it to go old and it downloaded fine.

BTW, nothing worth reporting yet. I can't tell this isn't my old .250 OS. Everything is running identical.

installed it, everything is snappier [berryite]

Can you use it on any carrier?
