I'm also considering waiting till after the new year to possibly step on some new deals on the RAZR and let some folks proof it out.

I had issues with every upgrade so far, each time I needed to wipe the phone each time and start fresh. That pisses some people off but I like starting with a fresh OS every once n a while.. Keeps it as fast as possible.

Wiping and upgrading is a better way to do things. Makes sure you get all legacy files off your OS

yupper, I usually wipe out all the stock apps I dont typically use from the system folder. seems a bit more stable and I dont have to tell it which launcher or music player to use

That's just the nature of OS upgrades. OSX Lion was a bitch for awhile til they got shit sorted out too.

Not sure it's a big jump...but we upgraded 8 computers at work from Leopard to Snow Leopard and only 1 (mine) had an issue. My superdrive disappeared for a few days then decided to work again.

The upgrade from iOS 4.x to iOS 5 wasn't smooth. My pictures got wiped (not a huge deal), even though they were backed up. The servers were so fucked that it took about two hours and change to download the upgrade. When it was upgraded, the same fucked up servers wouldn't authenticate my phone and cancelled the installation. It took a few hours to get things to actually work.
