Since having tested the post .125 and the pre .125 i have my money on the .125 being the better of the two or three.
We have alot of senior members here that are trying to kowtow our excitement about the new upcoming .125. but let me tell you, that you will be better off with .125 than the so called .130 or .13 what ever.
Its nice to be smug and believe that were all special snow flakes, but were not. Were all the same decaying matter.

With all the gossip all over the internet about the new cut/paste feature, as soon as someone finds it they will post it all over the place. I just seriously doubt it would be anyone from CB that would leak it, based on what I have read on other forums02-28-09 08:49 AM
- i know they are trying to keep the actually current builds a secret, but wouldn't it be better for RIM from a testing perspective if they did leak out the current version? Storm users seem eager to put whatever is the latest on their device knowing that it could break things and even be a step backwards. I know myself that I don't even read feedback about a new OS before installing it. I just put it on and start testing. Also, everyone that does upgrade is extremely eager to share all of their experiences good/bad. That sounds like an extremely good/large beta test group if you ask me. I know that they want to keep it to their group of testers, but if they dropped the builds out there like Microsoft did with Windows 7 then they would get an insane amount of response back from testers. Just my 2 cents because I would gladly test

The carriers dont want to and aren't able to support the random person installing a beta OS on their phone, and then calling saying their data isnt working, or their browser isn't showing up, or the dozens of other random questions that come up on this forums everytime a leaked OS hits. The bottom line is it would cost the carrier money.i know they are trying to keep the actually current builds a secret, but wouldn't it be better for RIM from a testing perspective if they did leak out the current version?

- Actually the even better answer is money It costs RIM a fortune, a FORTUNE, every time a leak happens.
You would be shocked if I gave you some numbers on how much this costs, when RIM recieves a unit back from a carrier because a customer did something they shouldnt have, oh... I dont know, like install firmware they shouldnt even have, and then return the phone because its deemed "broken".02-28-09 04:18 PM - Don't you think it would cost them less if they required the carriers to have techs with half a brain to fix firmware issues themselves. I guarantee you over half of the techs working for the carriers would probably botch an OS install with the best of the noobs out there. If you ask me, with the introduction of OTA updates, that'll just add to tech stupidity for the carriers. They already can't do isht more then a wipe when someone calls in with a simple issue. (What's that, your phone doesn't turn on because you took the battery out..... Let's try a wipe to fix that issue.Actually the even better answer is money It costs RIM a fortune, a FORTUNE, every time a leak happens.

I'm offended, lmao!!02-28-09 06:28 PM - Oh I cant disagree with that. I'm just giving you the blunt truth of a reason why this was a bad idea, what the other user suggestedDon't you think it would cost them less if they required the carriers to have techs with half a brain to fix firmware issues themselves.
