I had it done. To be honest, their are only a few things that I noticed. When someone calls you, the answer button is larger, the html browser is faster(no too much 10 seconds faster, maybe)and it seems like the touchsreen is more responsive. In the touchscreen's defense, I didn't feel like it was as bad as some reviews had stated. It had a a longer learning curve that's all. I can fly through it now. Although I think it may have messed up my mobile email though. It used to get pushed every 15 minutes, now it seems like an hour, maybe... Again, that's all I noticed.

I updated my wife's voyager to V05 and it's great! When she first got the phone, navigating through the touch screen felt a little sluggish. Now, it's a whole lot more responsive and fast! Web browsing is wayy better. It's faster; loads pages & pics faster than before and there are new features added like a favorites link, refresh, back, www and menu links towards the bottom. The zoom in&out buttons are replaced by 1 button and upon pressing it, it then gives you an option to zoom in or out. Another cool thing I noticed is that you can eliminate the menu options towards the bottom and have a full screen which is pretty cool. Before the update, the phone had 2 bars left of battery power and after the update it had full battery life! I thought...

I got it done last Saturday, took about 30 mins.

The only thing I have really noticed that is a HUGE improvement is the web browsing and the battery life.

The web browsing no longer "highlights" the part of the page you want to click on, it now uses a mouse cursor icon to select the different things, makes browsing much easier instead of having to look and find what box is highlighted.


The battery is also a huge improvement, I had 4 bars of strength on Saturday, didnt use it much over the weekend and I still have 3 bars left, of course I have the extended battery on it, but regardless I have seen about a 100% improvement in the charge holding, normally I would be down to 1 bar by now.


The only other thing I have noticed is th...
