This is the first time I am posting, but reading on these forums and seeing how people are reporting they LOVE 5.0 is REALLLY tempting me to upgrade to it from 151, although I really wanted to wait for LY to finish his hybrid first.
The main applications I am worried about are Slacker, youmail, poynt, viigo, pandora, Where, Voxophone call abroad and most of all Mobipocket reader.
Anyone that can report on the above, I did look through the post speaking about compatible apps, however, one of the posts: The Glass is only half full, mentions slacker and Mobipocket reader but i can't tell if he's saying they DO work or don't work!
Everyones phone is different mine works like a charm on 5.0 I am currently using Stoptilt so i dont have the accelorometer problem. Slacker is working well and so is Poynt i can't say much for the other apps you listed.
On .151, I have noticed that the phone app crashes when I reboot the phone. It recovers right after acknowledging the message, but it is kind of anoying.
I tried the hybrid option, and inserted the .148 phone modules, but went back to full .151 since those modules acted a lot slower and I did not experience any other issues with .151, and did not experience a loss of phone capabilities.
Reasons:
- Big one was the radio as I was not getting service in places I do with .151. I have very limited service at my home, and with the 5.0 I was always searching for service at my house. 151 gives me 2 bars of EV
- Facebook app is a no go. Ugh....
Other than that, 5.0 did work well on my phone. It didn't give me any problems other than the above. I'm really looking forward to putting it back on my phone once Facebook is compatible and maybe be able to put the 151 radio into the build... The auto switch Time Zone feature is something I've been dearly wanting since I got my first blackberry. I'm in a different timezone every night and not having to worry about switching it will be lovely!!
I tried 5.0 for a few days and had alot of minor issues been using LY hybrid 6v6 and it is pretty impressive...so far all my apps work and he has included some 5.0 files with it...best OS/Hybrid I have used!
