So then. I just spent about 2 hours updating to 2.0.1 and re-installing my cydia apps etc, worth it for eliminating the horrible SMS keyboard lag I thought.
i updated to 2.0.1 but the trick is to start of without updating from the back up. it sucks cause you loose sms and settings but it does fix all the stupid slow bugs, like app launching and keyboard. For some reason i feel like i have longer battery life too.
This phone is slow slow. My SMS is REAL SLOW for no reason that i can find. I understood that the last firwmare update addressed it but only for about two days here... Dunno....
