I got the same PM as everyone else and wiped my OS and installed the .261 version. Follow all the directions on that and be sure that you reinstall your apps manually.
My extra kick to it was then following crackberry kevins blog advise by dialing down the screen brightness etc. I keep it on 4g as much as I like, but do turn it off while driving. What really helped though was turning off the gps when I dont need it and following RIMs blutooth advise for the bridge link. the url is here http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ix-rim-608081/
For some reason keeping the blutooth settings like that helps alot. I am now getting the same life I had on my 9700.
