So I did the install and immediately began having issues. Freezing, lagging issues, the spinning clock of death constantly appearing on the screen and huge memory leak. Multiple battery pulls, and still the same issues. Not sure if it was a bad install, or just a bad OS, either way I could not downgrade soon enough. Now back on .187 and everything is smooth as it was before without any issues. Just curious if anyone else experienced similar issues???

it still didn't get any better from yesterday!? Damn - lets hope this isnt the official they're planning or I can see this launch going south in a hurry. (Storm1/2 launches anyone? )

After a disastrous install of .261 that involved lagging, freezing and major memory leak issues, I have reinstalled it without problem. One thing I noticed with OS 7 is that in addition to setting up your email account with BIS, you must log in and validate your BlackBerry ID before email and other services will operate properly. I failed to do that on the initial install of .261 which I believe caused the issues. The device was searching for the server, but not having been validated by my BBID, there was no contact, the result...substantial battery use and memory leak, spinning clock and lagging/freezing.

I'm pleased to say that after realizing my mistake i have re installed .261 and it is working like champ.

Quite a number of apps now on OS6 requires you to login to bbid also, filescout is one of those.

Very true, however I don't recall having to log in to my BBID to utilize email.
