-Initial Battery life seems to be worse than .587 for me (am getting 6-8% average discharge rate according to TinyMeter) disconnected from charger at 7:30 a.m. And at 1 p.m am already at 62% with very little use (would normally be at 90% at least)
-Help Me screen has access to "mini engineering screens" for CDMA + GPS (accessible in Blackberry menu)
-Browser and overall UI are noticeably quicker than .587...but I believe at the cost of worse battery life...maybe a hybrid can fix this.12-02-11 12:03 PMLike 0 -
The phone does feel a lot quicker! Well worth the upgrade to me!12-02-11 12:33 PMLike 0 - i loaded it last night and at first i thought the battery life was bad as well. after a couple of battery pulls last night it seems pretty much the same as 587 to me as well. i had a bad load and wiped and reloaded so it had a bunch of stuff to download, service books, etc. that may be what is causing yours to use so much battery in the beginning. let it run a few days and i think you'll like it much better.12-02-11 01:34 PMLike 0
- Just loaded a little while ago and the UI seems faster, BUT, the UI usually seems faster after a fresh load, BUT, this seems faster than it usually seems after a fresh load, so I think that's good.
Reboots seem faster.
Haven't used the browser yet.
I find that I go through the battery pretty quickly after a new load. I think it's a very intensive process and the computer USB doesn't provide as much juice as a wall outlet, so you might be using more energy than the USB port is providing.
I then spend a day or two tweaking apps, which uses more energy.
I noticed some font changes in menus too.
So far though this "feels" better than .58712-02-11 01:50 PMLike 0 - My volume--down button still doesn't work. It hasn't worked for the last few OSes. Am I the only one with this problem? I can't use the thing with headphones anymore, since it's too damn loud, and the button is apparently the only way to turn it down.
Since I own a smartphone half to serve as an iPod, this is a huge problem for me.

- that could be part of it but i loaded from the link scrid had and installed the extra file before i downloaded it. it's worked fine since.12-02-11 06:09 PMLike 0
- Has/Can/Will anybody host this to a file sharing or torrent source? The download speeds are so slow (7ish kps); despite living in Africa and only have DSL, normally I can still do 100kps+. I haven't been able to get a full download either as it interrupts 2/3s of the way through, probably because it is so slow.
Thanks in Advance,
Andrew12-03-11 03:00 AMLike 0 - Has anyone else had an issue with running a custom theme? First time you hit the bb button to go to the app screen and get no apps listed? Then it works after that ok? Or trying to change wallpaper from the app screen by selecting options? Or is it just me?
EDIT: Looks like it is not just me. if you are having a problem, we are working on a fix here that may help you.Last edited by 69goat; 12-03-11 at 10:31 AM.

Damn. I am not upgrading then. You had to add a cod for 600 and now this one is doing the same. Bah humbug. I use too many custom themes to be bothered with doctoring the OS up.
Too bad!
And I know its just one cod, but come on! That couldn't be fixed BEFORE release?Last edited by jaydee5799; 12-03-11 at 12:14 PM.

BeBuzz is not working with this OS. I can't get any lights to come on or stay on. I even restored my backup and it doesn't work. Oh and my email was toast as well. Had to call VZW and get some help to get it running again.
What's with BeBuzz? Anyone get it working?12-03-11 07:41 PMLike 0 - So even though I was mad I installed. Now I'm madder than ever. BeBuzz is not working with this OS.

Edit: normal red light now...only works temporarily after a fresh reboot it seems......maybe inserting a COD somewhere can fix it...12-03-11 08:46 PMLike 0 - Has anyone else had an issue with running a custom theme?

As for the cod, it is the ribbon cod Did you install it or add it via BBSAK? I did and it works like a charm. Try it again please. Those hybrid guys are always watching our backs. Thank god. I was ready to scream....12-04-11 07:17 AMLike 0
