word...let us know what are the improvements/changes over the v4.5.0.181

[zrx12mike#CB]

Update went without issue. So far I don't see anything different. No troubles either, so that is good too!

[Dr-Drae]

kool....no troubles is always something good to hear. I'll download it and try it out later.

What version os were u using before?

[jmripollg]

i was on .181. I realized that the platform on .181 is .108, while on .182 it was downgraded to .106. Maybe that's where the improvement lies. Either way, I'm loving it!

[Dr-Drae]

Yea I realised it was downgraded to .106 too, so that made me hesitant to load it. I'll give it a try when I get some free time.

Do you guys have a link to the newest OS?

[jmripollg]

I've been using .182 for three and a half days now, and I must say I'm impressed! My Pearl is really quick, and my file free space jumped from an average of 14MB to 18MB. I also noticed it's very stable. I must confess, though, I got greedy . I downgraded my BBM to 4.5 yesterday, and I got to an average of 21 MB. I realized that the main difference for me, anyways is my contacts' icons. I use my BBM mainly for friends and work. I already know what my boss's ugly mug looks like, so I figured I'll stick to the older version of BBM.

I was on 181 before the upgrade (or downgrade - but I think its only one portion of the OS).

It seems more stable, but I don't think it's much faster, and I didn't get much more space. After running through all my apps and looking at the images stored on the device memory - and still waiting for about a minute and a half for the thumbnails to start showing up (I don't have a media card installed), I still have the same 4-5 megs free that I had before. It will fluctuate between as much as 10mb, to as little as 3 at times. This was the same as on the .110 version before I upgraded to .181 before this one.

I will say that the last one AT&T provided, the .110 version (platform .90), was a bit more problematic.

just installed last night and so far it seems the browser is a little faster and I did get some more free space not much but noticeable [from 15-17 now at 16-19]. hasn't even been 24 hours yet but battery life seems about the same as on .181.
