Have you tweaked your transition settings? Because I've had mine since DEC1. Mine has been reflashed a few times playing with stuff. But the transition is the same as it has always been. Roughly 2 secs.

As soon as i flip it I start counting.

I go 1 thousand One and one thousand two before it is FULLY transitioned. I start counting as soon as it is flipped. I haven't noticed much change from any of the versions of SW that has been on it or whether I had a lot of data and apps.

The problem is that 2 seconds occurs at the worst time. The phone rings, you pick it up and it decides to reorient about the time your finger comes up to tap it beacuse of what the accelerometer is trying to figure out. I thin k there are 3 solutions for this. Put up with it, Lock it, or learn HOW to pick it up so that it is already oriented when you want to tap it.

If it's 7 seconds, really 7 seconds, something is wrong. I have to say I'm skeptical of under a second though. Probably depends more on how you and I are doing the test.
