- Ive sent 166 texts today, received around the same amount, phone was barely ever on standby, downloaded and installed 2 programs, and made about 10 minutes of calls. Im in my basement, and I get around the same signal. No bugs, no crashes, just speed and beauty. I'm currently at about 77% battery right now, and I unplugged at 10 AM. Everything seems to be a huge improvement, especially the ability to switch between 2G and 3G06-21-09 07:51 PMLike 0
- I went from .266 and so far there is a HUGE differance. I installed last night, charged it all night with if fully powered off. I've had it on 2g all day but its on used 10% of the battery. I've used the internet a little bit on 2g and it seems almost as fast as 3g. So far I'm really impresed.

But if i had to pick one it would be .282 at this point it seemed to have given me a little better battery life, less memory leaks and the added function of being able to switch to either 2g or 3g. It's certainly not worse than .266 so thats a big plus as .266 was excellent for me.06-21-09 11:06 PMLike 0
- .282 ftw.
I downloaded it twice. the first time I didn't take my time and do it properly and promptly downgraded to .266
then I saw you could switch between 2g & 3g and decided to give it another try. took my time and did it properly...
I used to run at around 41mb free after a battery pull. I was at 47mb after the battery pull and after 12 hours of heavy use I still have 50% battery. It's running on 2g no issues, I jumped on wifi when I needed to get on the net and it's been great.
so far so good. I'll be using this one for a while.06-21-09 11:10 PMLike 0 - .282 is the best Bold OS yet, at least for me. .266 was previously the best I'd used, but .282 is a significant improvement. It's just as fast and stable as .266, and adds the ability to force the radio to 2G, a useful and long overdue feature (for us AT&T users at least). I was pleasantly surprised (shocked, rather) to find I had ~42 MB free memory after a battery pull, up from only ~21 MB on .266.
Battery life appears to be solid, but I haven't tested it extensively. Signal strength appears about the same as on .266. I have noticed one problem with this version, however. The thumbnails for your pictures are slow to load, at least the first time you open the pictures viewer. I'm speculating here, but it seems as if this version isn't loading the thumbnails into RAM on bootup, but instead waits for you to open the pictures viewer. Regardless, it's a fairly minor bug, and I still enthusiastically recommend upgrading.06-22-09 12:53 AMLike 0 -
