Okay, after a BP the "Device Error" selecting the phone app is gone..... Lock/Unlock seems instant, and the accelerometer is at what I consider a sweet spot.... Nice and accurate, but not overly sensitive. Lots more testing to do, so will update as necessary.
First, I'm starting off with much more free application memory.
Second, The accelerometer is much faster than it was in .114 and you don't have to hold it perfectly vertical in any orientation just to get it to adjust to landscape or portrait.
Third, (this one is huge) typing lag has entirely disappeared. There is literally no typing lag. Typing has never been better on the Storm.
Fourth, my custom themes are now even faster than they were before.
Fifth, scrolling through applications menu is now noticeably much faster.
