Hummm Well that was an experience....Had to be the longest install of any beta upgrade for me. Seemed to hang forever at the last "wait for device initialization, then it refused to reinstall the application data and third party data. had to do am install from DM. Always a good lesson there kids, Back up everything before you do an OS install. Thankfully I listened to Crucial and the rest of the knowledgeable folks here and had no problems. Srill can't figure out why , after all the reboots the Storm does with installs, why you still have to physically pull the battery to make it all work nice.

First impressions are positive though, I had some issues with reboots on the .13X version I was running prior to the update, Lets see how this works out

All good so far. I lost my 10 calendar events upon installation - no biggie.

Does anyone else have this problem:

When you look at the device info on quick launch it freezes and you can't get it to go away.

Any suggestions?
I noticed that as well. figured it was the background picture, which doesn't show in landscape.

Default Facebook?

I just did my first ever upgrade. Went from .75 to .148. Everything seems to be working ok with the exception of Facebook. I have a Facebook icon that opens up the browser asking to download.

All my other 3rd party apps loaded except Facebook. I even restored my .alx backup of 3rd party apps but Facebook 1.5 is nowhere to be found. I guess I can always re-download OTA but it bothers me that I don't know why it's doing this.

Any ideas?

Haha... it's more like changing the layout of a room. If you don't like how you've rearranged the furniture you can always change it back - but it's gonna take you more than 3 seconds.

nope, not at all. I hit the green phone and nothing happens. when I goto the contacts there is no menu for Call only SMS and MMS.

I seen one other person had the same problem.

I've tried everything from battery pulls to registering service books. no clue.

Yeah, but it probably doesn't take you 2 hours to change a shirt.
