My usage is mostly limited to making phone calls, playing audio, and browsing the web. There were enough improvements in the OS that outweigh the instability of a bleeding edge release to the point that I have no desire to downgrade to a more "stable" release. I also have the peace of mind that any bugs I submit will relevant to current development. jezra _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
