    When I first bought my 9780, I wished I had the choice to revert back to OS 5 if I want, but after using my 9780 for 2 months and getting more familiar with OS 6, appreciating its new interface and features, and especially after it has become more stable with OS 480, I am very pleased and cannot even imagine going back to OS 5....

    What does everyone think about this?

    I agree. There are just certain features (notifications, universal search, etc) that I would miss too much if I went back to OS5

    The only thing that I really miss about OS 5 is the REAL column view in the browser.

    I miss some of the features of OS5, but mostly the apps that still aren't compatible with OS6.

    I was in curve before and liked OS5. After a couple of weeks, i upgraded to the 9780 bold and was at first reluctant with the OS6, but after 2 weeks, i sort of wish all themes had the tray lol the answer is definitely NO

    I'm looking forward to 6.1. I've not regretted moving up to OS 6, and prefer the here and now over yesterday.

    Never having used a BB before my 9780 other than when I wanted to play with my friends BB's, I kinda liked the multiple tray things espcially favorites. But I ended up trying a theme foppa20 which doesn't have the extra trays, and I like that too lol. The default look just takes too much space up on the screen I think..

    I personally do not use any theme that has the UI bar, favorites, frequent, media, etc.

    I don't need them since I have QuickLaunch, and they take space on the screen

    Only thing I would miss is universal search. I feel that all the transitions are only there to make it feel more modern but at the same time, it makes it feel old because they aren't smooth due to the lack of hardware. It's not a big deal but it's things like this that are hurting RIM and gives people something to look at BlackBerry's in a negative way.

    OMG trackball? I was tired of cleaning it constantly when I had my 9000. Hated it so bad, IMO, the trackpad is much easier to control, maintain, and is more precise.

    This. To be honest, in terms of performance and stability, I found OS 5 to be REALLY damn good. If only RIM added the useful things like universal search and the webkit browser, OS 5 would be amazing. To this day, HTML messages STILL don't format correctly. I have to zoom out to view the entire message. It's like RIM puts out new things but remove other things, they never build on top of past improvements. Really frustrating.

    I agree with the previous poster- OS5 stabilityy with webkit borwser (search didn't take THAT long in OS5) would be ideal for a non-touch phone. Slightly off-topic, but is the 9780 definitely getting OS6.1?

    So, I beg of you, post a link I can download it.
