    Although I know that .174 is a beta os but I heard great reviews about it, but also great reviews about os .133 which is a finalized os. Which do you prefer? I'm currently using os .174 but haven't tried .133 yet... And I want to try os .133 so let me know!

    Well .174 is supposed to give better battery life than than .133 although battery life claims are subjective mostly. If I remember correctly the .133 had problems with the radio, especially UMA. The workaround for that is a .133/.114 hybrid which uses the .114 radio code.
    So why .133 and not .168?

    Reason why I don't want to use the .168 is because the battery life is horrible. I installed it and it was a no go for me because the battery life was draining when I had no uma or any apps running. How do you hybrid 2 different os?

    I only ran .168 for a very short time. .174 arrived a very short time afterwards (1 day if I recall) and I really have not much experience with .168. Sorry.

    All I can really say is that .174 makes me really happy with my phone.

    I would guess, but have no information to base this on, that a new OS will appear within the next 2 - 3 weeks. So unlss you actually enjoy updating, erhaps a short wait is indicated.
