Well its been another while since getting this phone and i must say all things are going pretty well with it. Now the one problem i noticed but cant remember if i mentioned was the extremely long start up time after doing a battery pull or hard reset. Now since this phone totes extra memory it wasnt that often that i had to do a battery pull but I noticed it more when installing a program that required a reset. Now i didnt take an actual stopwatch to measure the exact time but i can honestly say that there was times it took over 10 min to startup after a battery pull. Now depending on your comfort level there is a updated hybrid os out which uses files from different os's to make one that improves several things on the tour. For more information on the hybrid i would reccomend checking a site like crack berry which has alot of info on it and how to's. The hybrid i installed also already had BBM 5.0 loaded onto it and allowed me to remove things like languages and other unwanted software from the phone. As with any beta or hybrid os its one of those install at your own risk things. But since the install my phone starts up much faster and has been trouble free with no freezing or problems i can remember. One other thing ill add is the fact that they have added the ability for people to develop themes for the phone now. When the phone first launched you were stuck with the one theme but now there are tons of new themes comming out, some which are free, some which are pay. But there are some really nice ones if you look around a bit.
