Lots of improvements and changes everywhere in this OS.

Careful to go to your computer control panel/remove programs and "remove RIM internal apps" If you don't remove this program before you install onto your Storm, your Storm will email RIM all bugs and errors it encounters ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Improvements are numerous:
-Cool transitions (like iphone) when opening apps ๐Ÿ˜
-Tabbed browsing ๐Ÿ˜
-Shortcuts to "clock", "manage connections" from your homescreen by touching the icons at the top ๐Ÿ˜
- "Today" option for homescreen....BB button> BB button> Options> Home Screen Layout> TODAY!
๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜
-Media center rearranged?
-new load screen
-new music icon on home screen
-color banding gone if you care ๐Ÿคจ
-new files fo...

so far so good. some apps aren't working, but don't think I use them that much that it matters. I'll take performance over some apps not working.

thanks for download link. I upgraded yesterday and so far happy with it.

I might still go get the BB Tour today. What are you thoughts on that?

With the Tour, you are basically looking at the insides of the Storm without the touchscreen. Same world capabilities and some more memory. Storm 2 will have the same memory upgrades.

If virtual keyboards never agreed with you, the Tour is the one. The only trade off is a smaller screen (resolution is still top notch).

Good phone ๐Ÿ˜

There is a .151 floating around that has some of the cool transition graphics. 5.0 Messenger needs to be loaded for the 5.0.0.140 to work.

Facebook should catch up soon. Since this was leaked, I guess they aren't ready yet for 5.0.

What I am impressed with is that they seemed to have moved on from stablization of the OS being the primary focus to adding more features and improving usability ๐Ÿ˜

5.0 is a fun one to play around with

This one I am keeping. I can live without the Facebook, Yahoo IM, and BB App world for the moment. Should be updates coming out on those programs to catch up soon.

I agree, I like where this OS is heading ๐Ÿ˜
