right, been playing with it for a while now, this is what ive noticed so far:

improvements:
1) startup is faster
2) overall aplication and menus are also faster
3) browser also faster (new opera version) however havent checked flash menus yet
4) camera seems to be improved, autofocus definately more responsive, video recording seems better however u can still notice horizontal lines
5)new icons for .jar or .sis files in file explorer
6) more RAM

Bugs:
1) worst bug is, with flip removed, wen u press spacebar to make a call, the fone makes a flight mode beep sound and nuthing happens (u may notice a glimpse of the call menu, but instantneously dissapears), also happens wen keys are locked
2) When u pause a video (like demo) the sound keeps playing for a few seconds more and then stops, i think some people had this problem in R5 aswell

Also, dunno if this is new or not, but there is a couple of new options in the screensaver menu

Well, after all ares was right about the firmware release, and _someone_ gladly banned him. Anyways..

The improvements i see are:
- faster startup / phone usage
- gallery preview is no more blurry
- camera seems to be fixed

I haven't tried volume level neither alarm volume, but ill try it in couple of hours.

Have fun

CAMERA

When switching on camera,while it asks to open the camera cover,theres a new icon...tapping it leads to picture gallery.In the picture gallery,next to the photo no:,theres an icon which is for zooming.

Tried some autofocusing...looks like the bug in that has been fixed.But will have to experiment more.

In flip open,selecting tool leads to options ...thers a new icon "[ i ]" in green...explaining the information of that specific option.

Focusing in video mode trick still doesn't work.

ares banned? Why? He just passes on info that he gets from various sources, most of the time correct too. I'd say there are plenty more people that should be banned before him.
