Came just to late for me. I just moved my number over to the new phone...
from what im reading on the forum, people are happy with the upgrade so far. People are reporting improvements in sprint tv, etc...
it's just a shame they didnt fix it a month ago.
eh. It's better but the browser is still just mediocre. I really wanted portrait view for one handed browsing. I am happy that I will soon be trading my Instinct for a touch.
The update destroyed the browser on my phone. If I try to open the browser, it dials an unknown number, if you end the call it then locks up the phone.
I haven't gotten to test the browser much but I still can't log into my blogspot page on it. It doesn't say to enable cookies and java as it did before, even though they were, but now it keeps saying "leaving a secure ares?". I hit 'yes' and it'll keep asking over and over. I hit 'no' and it'll ask a 2nd time, then going blank and doing nothing.
I give up on this browser, they should have scrapped it and focused on the LCDUI update so we can use opera mini.
Also, would be nice to see a changelog for this update. As of last night there wasn't one. How is it so complicated Sprint?
Ok, well I've reactivated my Instinct so I can get the browser update before I do a compare between the Instinct and the Touch Diamond. I think i'll be keeping the Touch rather than the Instinct, but I hope to write a review of the Touch from an Instinct users point of view. I'll stick it up on instinctventing.blogspot.com when I'm done.
Nice review on your blog. I am going to link to it in a new post.
