Wish I could download the update...dont know how I feel about push downloads...I wish I had R29 or R30, the whole fix of disabling the device as a USB drive to get the alarm to work as very lame. So far, I love the UI and the phone, but it does have several problems such as the alerts not working correctly, or not at all, for instance, if I am in the gmail program, and leave the phone idle, it will not alert me that I have gotten new emails if the phone is idle, so I have to make sure I am back at the home screen to get all my alerts, the problem exists for both email, gmail, instant messages, and text messages. The vibrate on the phone is VERY sub-par, this is a huge problem for me due to the fact that if I am walking down the street and cannot hear my phone, the vibrate does little to no use...bottom line, I find my self checking the phone to see if I have gotten any emails or messages...not only does the sound system bug out, but the alert window does not always show either, this means I am constantly opening up email, gmail, im, and text messages...which is alot to just see if anyone has tried to contact me...for all the cool stuff this phone does, it seemed to miss the basic mark of "Hey someone is trying to get a hold of you..." bravo to the cut and paste, everything else seems to be working fine on it though...I have learned to get around most of the problems I have had. I had a Wing before which was horrid...way too slow to do anything with...but at least I knew when I got a message ;)

Google is where MSFT was about 20 years ago regarding security. Chrome is POS as well as it suffers from Heap Fragmentation and hits the CPU hard even after the page has loaded. IE8 has no such issues.
