Well that was fast. Personally haven't been able to test voice calling due to blocked ports at school. Otherwise functioning well. no extra emoticons.

I installed this morning, got distracted by other things. By the time I got back to my phone, all my contacts, chats and groups were back in place. It looks very much like previous versions, so I had to go into Application Management to verify the version. So far I've noticed three things with it.

First, and this may be subjective, it seems a little smoother and faster.

Second, there's no longer a backup/restore option in the menu. That's now supposed to be automatic over the network. Several of us are pushing to get that feature put back in, in case of network issues.

Third, it seems to only offer the voice chat option if you're connected to someone else with BBM7. You won't see it in the contact's connection options otherwise.

-The Blackberry ID integration takes over that option. So your contacts are still backed up and can be restored if need be, it's just done automatically.
There's no reason to 'push' to get it back in, it's in there already you just can't see it.
