I like the new anti Apple lawsuit lockscreen. No more point to point sliding, now slide anywhere you want.

They also added 2 new live wallpapers and removed 2.

I made an attempt at performing this update today and to my surprise it went flawlessly. I live in the cincinnati ohio area. It was smooth and gr8. Took about 40 minutes from start of download to pc to install and reboot of phone.

The eye candy for visible on alarms, answering the phone, and the lock screen. I also noticed in the menu under Ringtone, where it asked you about vibrate or not, there are 3 different settings you can change with respect to how hard the phone vibrates and haptic feedback settings too.

Seem like my battery life is better. But I need a real work day to be sure.
