Works great. Delete vendor.xml. Did a wipe with bbsak before upgrade and only did a selective restore of certain databases when complete. It was time to eliminate some crud which is one reason I did not allow a full backup and restore to happen as part of upgrade. Sometimes it is nice to start fresh.

Was on 5.0.0.419 before. Less spinning hourglass on the new version. Miss the old mute button lock feature but rest is good. Browser still sucks, phone still kind of slow. But less annoying pauses.

Yea, the browser doesn't really get better until OS 6. Thanks for the feedback, QueBall.

Phew good thing I put 1041 on my Tour and my boys Tour. No issues, no need to downgrade. :P
