I never considered my self a light user but I've only had a couple of small issues with OS6 and overall I'm happy with it. What made it "practically unuseable" for you?

I guess people use their phones in different ways. I think OS6 is awesome and have almost no difficulties. Still rough in some areas, but it's not even a first release. For others: "unusable." OK.
I installed os6 and it was too buggy, to slow i just couldnt habdle it. First time i installed a leak and had a very bad experience with the leaked os6 for my 9700. Now i installed the latest official and its woriking great. For sure i will get the os6 later, but when it become official, never a leak again.

New gripe: Doesn't send MMS the same way, and new way doesn't work with older BBs. Just sent a picture as a "text message" to person running. 5.x on a curve, and no picture was attached.

I too am back to OS 5. I really want to like OS 6, and if they iron out all the wrinkles it will be nice, I have to admit. But 'til then, I'd rather have functionality then just something new to play with and make sacrifices for 100% functionality. Obviously this is just my opinion.
I haven't had one issue with os 6, I'm really enjoying it. Its fast, responsive, and I love the browser. As for my opinion on the fourm users I don't think any os build will ever totally please anyof youz. But to each their own

Could only handle os6 for a day and turned back to os5. For me the dealbreaker was the web browser, it gave this "too big for device" error almost for every website and I found this new "auto column view" thing to be not my cup of tea.
Other than the web browser I was expecting to use this wireless media sync feature, tried it, not for me.
Social feeds etc. stuff are kind of uneeded on my side either because I don't have any problems with the twitter apps I'm using, and I'm using google reader for rss.
I'm sure they'll improve a lot of stuff once a official release happens but until then I'm happy with 5
I've been using OS6 for about 2 days now and I haven't noticed anything wrong with 3rd party apps. At least not with the ones I use (Urbanspoon, Poynt, etc.). The only annoying thing I've seen is all this web2go junk that clutters up the browser bookmarks. It may just be a TMO thing, but it's annoying as ****.

Another gripe: some (dupe) contacts are undeletable. Like I select the contact in the address book and can't invoke the menu to delete it. Had to use ABC to delete the entry.

This is the first leak we have seen. Whilst it is clearly not for everyone, the concept is excellent.
It is also true that many applications will require new releases to a). work with OS6 and b). to take advantage of OS6's new features and capabilities.
I do not understand why people cannot understand that when we get a leak, it is a version of the OS that, so far, a carrier has not released. WHy do you think that would be? My answer is that it is not ready for general release.
