BB Os 5.0.0.411 vs 5.0.0.681 comparison

Hello everybody. i think this counts as my first official post. when I learned that the leaked version of the BB OS *.411 was out, I went ahead and upgraded my phone. Than for no reason I stop checking the forums and when I finally did, I found out that there's a new version (*.681)

I guess my question is, is the new version much much better than the one that Im currently running?? Also, I dont remember well when I upgraded my phone if I lost any app. I mean, I dont remember if you have to do a device wipe before installing the new OS.
Anyway, I'll be looking forward to hear from you guys..
TIA

I would say that the battery lasts a bit longer for me ( half-a-day more) and I noticed an improvement in the free memory available, though it is not that significant.

The camera shutter sound has been changed ( I liked it :D ) and when you press the lock button, it locks the keyboard ( not a password lock ) and puts your BB into standby mode. You still can use a password lock by setting one of your convenience keys to open '' password lock ''

Regarding the Wipe before upgrading, You still don't '' Have To '' but some had problems installing so it is like a plan B to overcome unexpected installing issues

is it normal that i have to unlock the phone before i can answer any incoming call? that kinda sucks

No, it isn't. No OS does that !!
