    TL;DR: Although there might be a few issues with 10.3.1, let's just take a moment to realize how great and beautiful it all is!

    There has been WAY too much negativity surrounding the 10.3.1 update. I, for one think it's important to about the positives here.

    My Z10 now has GORGEOUS UI. IMO it is perfect combination of classy and colourful. Colours just pop out. It really has made me fall in love with the phone. For those who haven't updated I've attached a few pictures below. Also, Blend is SO USEFUL! The camera is much faster too. The Music App, the Calendar...All gorgeous apps. And fast too. EVEN the keyboard that I am typing on now!

    There are bugs for sure with the new update for sure. Advanced interactions aren't working and my Hub, when in rotation lock, gets locked in landscape mode and leaves me trapped in it. I just don't have rotation lock turned on. So that mitigates the issue. BUT, I can still use my phone NO PROBLEM. It's actually a pleasure to use.

    So people, there are bugs. They may affect your user experience. But keep in mind that the new OS JUST dropped, and the people at BlackBerry that I know are already hard at work ironing out the kinks. ALL I'm asking is to just take a second and thank BlackBerry for giving us regular OS updates and for creating the beautiful and useful software we know and love !

    Thanks for the positivity. Been using this OS for a number of weeks and there really aren't as many issues as people are clamoring about. Unless you have a Z3 or a Q5. Im sure once people stop screaming and start reading the forums and asking nicely for help, it will all work out.

    You probably shouldn't have attached a picture of the Calendar. It may lead to dark places you never intended for this thread.

    But other than that, and the flickering on Passport's, it's definitely a nice OS. However keep in mind that this didn't "just drop". Most of what you see has been used by people that install leaks since about November... and that includes some of the issues that remain unresolved.

    All in all though,.. most should be able to call 10.3.1 progress (how's that for a lukewarm endorsement?)

    Well done post! The update on my Classic has been nothing but smooth. The other thing of note that I noticed, was it took 2 days for my battery to settle down.

    Good post OP. I felt this was a fantastic update even with my dislike of the flat design! Lol. Function wise though, it's been pretty stellar.

    I was running the second to last leak - so I knew what to expect - but just reading through the posts listing all the changes made me step back and realize how far this OS has come. It's amazing how quickly the new features have become so integrated into my daily life that I don't remember they're new!

    And then I looked at the forums and all I saw was negativity. It's definitely cut down on the time I spend here, but when I saw your post about the positives I had to pop in and thank you and agree.

    Bravo OP!! This update to the OS is by far the most dramatic change since BlackBerry 10 was introduced and I for one am really enjoying it. There are bound to be a few bugs as with any update to any OS but this update has actually ironed out a couple of nagging issues for me and I'm experiencing almost no new bugs (touching wood).
    This update truly makes it feel as if I've purchased a new phone! Both my Z30 & Z10 are working beautifully. After a couple of days I'm actually getting a bit better battery life without having touched any battery saving feature. SA-WEET!

    Well said OP. Some folks have no life or have not experienced life to realize it's just a mobile phone and the world is not perfect.

    I am very happy with the latest OS update. BlackBerry is doing a great job and working hard. Love it!!

    No problem. When the issues get addressed, we can all then call it "fantastic"!

    Don't know. VZW hasn't sent out the update for my Z10. Perhaps that is a good thing. IDK.

    No doubt this is a good update. The Z30 performs more quickly. Battery lasts longer. UI is refreshing. However, I miss the tap-anywhere-on-screen to take a photo. But it's not a big deal.

    Even though I won't use most of the main new features, I got brave and loaded 10.3.1 on a spare z10 today. No issues with the update and everything seems to be working great.
