reply to my post: I will be testing it out in the next day or so, if anyone else tries it, let us know how if it fixes the device's major flaws.

Have been running for about a week and it works well. Noticed an improvement in battery life, which was my biggest issue. Also, love threaded text messaging.

Have also been running this and I have seen some huge improvements in the phones performance i.e. does not freeze or drop apps anymore when running multiple programs. The threaded text messaging is a vert nice feature as well.

"has anybody put this on the verzion smt 5800"
I tried to update onto Verizon SMT5800 but I got a Error: Wrong Vendor ID message. So clearly, the update is specific to the mobile operator, in this case, Telus.

I also have a verizon SMT5800. Love the phone, hate the battery life. about 4 hours. Tried this update and also got Error: wrong vendor ID. Anyone know a way around this? Also, has anyone tried an upgraded long life battery, if so, how much better is it?

I hate the threaded messaging and would like to turn it off. Also, does anyone know how to turn of that smart box at the bottom that tries to guess what you want to type next? I hate it when I am texting to my child and accidentally type a word that is not what I want; the messages turn cryptic. it is annoying. It also sends the message twice. I would like to go back to the old wm 6.0

Go to Settings>Input>word Completion>uncheck suggested words

I have seen a couple of .cabs floating around to disable ThreadedSMS. I don't recall where try Googling it.
