i have no lag so far. my biggest gripe with the previously leaked BBM 6 was the constant hourglasses and lag and the BBM contact pics disappearing on reboots and sometimes at random.
have instaled it and seems to be running smooth and better then my prev 5.0.3. but to be honest, there isnt much visible change but i guess RIM was much more on fixing bugs rather then adding more features
so what changes have actually been made? I see no difference in the look except the smilie guy is bigger. they took away the custom colors for individual contacts.
also how do you get the custom sound for individual contacts? i can't get that to work
********QUOTE from Crackberry notice on BBM 6.....73********
You may not notice very many visible changes between BBM 5.0 and BBM 6.0 at this time, but stay tuned! For now, here are a few new things you might notice in this version:
�Updated BBM branding
�More "snappy" and responsive feel
�Visual distinction of message drafts vs. sent messages
�Any alerts set for SMS contacts are now preserved in BBM once an SMS contact is integrated with BBM
�Invite a Text Messaging Contact -- it's now easier to search contacts
�Location Search -- you can now search for a location before sending, similar to the Location Search experience via SMS
�Location Sending -- you can now detect your location with cell tower triangulation or GPS
�Appointment Sending -- sending appointment or calendar events is now a similar experience to that of sending an appointment via SMS
Again, no visual changes really but we'll take it. Also, although it's not noted in the change log -- we'd be surprised if there wasn't some stuff built in there for the PlayBook as well but that of course is just speculation.
