After the 2.1 upgrade. Immediately notice how crisp and sharp the screen is. I have to reboot a couple of times because browsing, downloading and opening emails takes forever. After that, the browser was faster than before. No missing apps or games (I do not have any side loaded apps or games). More important, woke up this morning, no battery drainage, the level stays the same. When backing up this morning, I got the same error message and was told to call representative? I retry again, so far it seems it's backing up right now at 10% and going. As far as I'm concern, this is my official 2.1 upgrade. Battery seems to gone back to before the 666 upgrade. I would not have remember if it's better than before . So I'll let the experts do that. But I'm happy for the beta upgrade. Thank you crackberry members for all your expertise and comments. I wish other tech platform is as helpful as this one here.
