w00t~!1!!!@!one

I've upgraded from .266 and really I have not noticed any memory leaks (as previously mentioned) or speed increases. Been running it now for over 5 hours. The initial reboot, after upgrade took about 28 minutes whereas previously a battery pull reboot would be about 12 minutes. Confirmed it again with a batter pull: reboot time is about 31 minutes. No big deal for me though.

It seems about the same speed as .266. 2G, 2G &3G all work for me. I can use Pandora and email across both network schemes. My memory hovers around 35-28mb and all my apps work. BBWeather, googlesync, logicmail, Pandora, Pocket Express, AmazeGPS, google maps, Poynt, Trapster....

I had to re-enter some of the firewall settings but no problems at all.

I am on regular AT&T and I now have the option of 2g and 3g & 2g, so I can confirm this as the others have noticed.

Overall, if yer l33t go for it! Otherwise, nothing gained as far as I can tell.... that is, besides braggin' rights with friends.

12 minutes!??! 31 minutes???!!! Why on earth would it take that long? Have you timed it with memory cleaning off (options-security options-memory cleaning)?

Seriously though, 30 mins? That seems way too long.. I would consider anything over 10 minutes to be unacceptable, but maybe thats just me.. :shrug:

I have this now too...but why? Why all of a sudden did they let us ATT folks do this? Or, is it an oversight?

After about I think 2 hours after reboot. Lost about 3 MB. Not bad. Gonna keep this OS. It was acting weird with the memory in the first couple hours after install. But its good now. Did you do a battery pull again?
