I just updated mine yesterday. It does work better but still not as polished as the Iphone. Screen still takes sometimes a second to realize the orientation. The media lags are very much reduced.
I upgraded my software using the desktop and had zero problems being connected to a BES server, retained my settings, everything continues to sync properly. All in all I think I am pretty happy with it. Searching for names is probably the more difficult function now as it requires 3 clicks to get to a name vs just typing a letter to begin the sorting process. Voice dial has become a very used tool now.

I've had a couple inquiries; I've been advising users to hold off for a few months. It's a new model, and the first-ever touch-screen for BlackBerry, and there was a big push to get it released.

I went to a store to try one hands-on. I found the UI was erratic and/or slow. The salesweasel must have seen my reaction, because she proactively offered this explanation: Verizon does something to them which causes problems. This "something" will be cleared out once the trial period ends (15 days, I think). The device will then automatically reset and work much better. She didn't have any knowledge as to the how or why behind it. It doesn't make any sense to make a product *worse* to use during the period when the customer is going to return it. On the other hand, I can totally see Verizon shooting themselves in the foot like that. (Witness the 8830 GPS fiasco.) So maybe your users just got their reset. Ask them if the device works better now. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
