Been using it a couple days now. Not using all of the new functionality but it is a worthwhile upgrade so far.

If any of you are using Verizon BB's theres a pretty neat website with free apps. But I want to say its only compatible with VZ phones...I could be wrong. Ive downloaded tons of stuff and never had a problem with any of them working.

The new BB Messenger is pretty cool. Like the barcode thing.

Is anyone else addicted to BrickBreaker?
My high score is 10500 and I haven't been able to make it past level 17 yet.
I've seen videos of people that have scores in the millions and are on like their 3rd or more time through the game without losing.
