I think improved battery life was mentioned somewhere with regards o pr1.2.
But i guess we'll just have to wait and see if there is any noticable differance.

- "ohhh thank you for this precious information now i can go on update and really experience it"

Jeez..how about this:

And then wait for couple of days and try to spot if there is some problems that might be blockers for you (for example icq protocol seems to have some problems right now) And THEN update it and experience it.

now that pr 1.2 is out i am not so impressed. I don't know why but reading all the threads about pr 1.2 and everything made me hope that it is going to be awesome but it's not even close: the phone is not responsive sometimes like before the update...lack of video and conference call(not on skype)...and alot more things which we all need and used to play with on the older phones...

Re: Firmware PR1.2 Whats so different
 

It´s true that depending on how many programs you run (email checking, IM-protocols connecting, Real windowses open) it might get laggy. And also there is some apps than basically are not on level of smoothness what iPhone delivers.

Could someone please tell me what is this video call outside Skype. I have never ever used it but some people have been talking about it. Isn't it something that is dependend on your service provider or what is this thing and what protocols it uses and what phoens have it. I have never ever seen or used it besides skype and gtalk.

It lacks tons of functionality on Phone apps and PIM, but then again it´s all about browsing, messaging (except email), music & video. Only hope is that there will be commercial apps that provide phone functions what people are missing.

Then again if yout try to use it same way as your old phones you have probably bought wrong device.
