    Wow. What a difference. All of my apps work, the speed is awesome, and threaded messaging is great. It also fixed the bluetooth issue as well. RIM you need to get on this set and make whatever bugs for different apps work.

    The only thing it seems is I have a lot less memory even after the shrink. About 90Mb instead of my normal 103Mb.

    If you brick it then there are directions on how to un-brick it.

    I like it too, I am on 5 and his 7.12 hybrid. It is simply better than 4. Don't know why I waited either.

    Yes, simply amazing difference. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't taken the plunge myself.

    I just went to 5.0 last night... LOVE the threaded SMS.

    BUT
    The only thing thats bugging me is I have no "mulitmedia" icon where when you open it, it brings up your pics, vids, ringtones, and voice recordings. Under applications there is an icon for EACH pic, vid, ringtone ect... but i like all of them under one icon that I used to have on my homescreen.

    So did mine get messed up or did they remove that icon for 5.0?

    Mine has always had just one icon for the media top level menu (VZW 4.761). Then you just choose what you want instead of surfing for what you want.

    nothing really to be scared about its just simple directions and wa la its there and works like a charm, you really cant brick a blackberry to the point where you cant use it. But its a very simple process even if you have never done anything like it before.

    I ignore them. It is your device and your money. I just had some free time and decided to do it. It wasn't painful at all.

    I was worried at first. Its so easy though and bricking it is pretty tough.

    DL 5.0.230 to your PC
    DL 7.11 hybrid to your PC
    run 7.11
    check the box in the top that says something about java folder
    delete stuff you dont want by placing a check next to it
    hit 'shrink my os'
    hit launch loader

    I've found that deleting old emails and text really speeds it up


    Not much to it

    Ok, I searched but didn't get a clear answer.

    I just went to .230. What exactly is a hybrid and what are the differences with the hybrid and .230?

    I want the multimedia back as well.

    Idk anything about hybrid, I'm the wrong person to ask about that lol

    I did find out that the media icon was removed for 5.0 (stupid imo)

    But Are there noted problems with 5.0 and Pandora Radio? Just tried listening for the first time and it froze the song on the last 25 seconds. At first I thought it was just Pandora so I skipped to the next song and continued to listen. Then again the last 25 seconds and it froze up. Skipped to next song and froze again

    Wow. The media Icon stays on my home screen all the time with my theme. When I installed v7.11 it is still there. IDK. I guess I go lucky.
