It's been out for awhile, .148 is not that great. I am running a mixture of .151 for the 9500, .141, and .90

I just upgraded from .109, and haven't really had a chance to play with it. What issues did you run across?

battery, radio, worse memory leak, and just plain slow. The radio hasn't been right since .90 though. I suggest using one of lyrical's hybrids on crackberry.com. Try the 5.0.0.93 or something, it's better than the .100.

I've been running .141 since shortly after I got the phone...it still crashes too much while texting....but it's more stable than it was.

.141 is nice, you should put the radio code for .90 in though. .141 makes you get your txt and emails much later than needed and the service isn't as good.

This seems to be unacceptable to me. Why would anyone put up with the crashing? Shouldn't they do something about that?

Crashing is what i'd expect from software with a version number starting in .1

Y'all have fun with that.

Seen it crash numerous times, even the new ones. It's also running an OS designed for it that's been upgraded numerous times. They rushed the storm out with a bastardized OS from other blackberry phones.

My phone has crashed once, that was when I was using the verizon OS.
