Do you mean the Prefox browser or the webos browser? The prefox browser is a.w.e.s.o.m.e.ness
Edit: prefox remembers passwords

I still wanna know what was supposed to change when they said that entering text using the web browser was supposed to be fixed. I expected that the screen focus would stay on my cursor as I typed, but my phone isn't doing that. I still have to scroll around just to see what the heck I am typing. That is one fix I was so looking forward to.

yeah that's what I was looking forward to as well. Mine doesn't do it, I'm left srolling around it's BS. Why advertise a fix when it didn't do anything?

The issue that was addressed was that when inputting data into some text fields the screen would jump to the upmost left hand corner. Now with 1.4.5. the screen will stay focused on the input box.

I get a similar page jumping error when attempting to click on the links to go to the next page of a forum thread, it actually happens on precentral forum page

The WiFi range seems much better. But that gain is serious offset with the HTML codes showing up in Contacts. That has to be fixed ASAP. The temp work around of hitting EDIT just doesn't cut it. And the problem was known prior to the Verizon update, other carrier users commented on it immediately after 1.4.5.

Default Mobile Hot Spot

The Mobile Hot Spot does seem to connect a lot quicker and the connection seems better.

Experience has been mostly positive for me! I'd say speed increase. When 1.4.5 came out UberKernal released a stable 1GHZ...and the phone has been simply AMAZING since that little tidbit. The calendar loads in at or below 4 seconds, compared to the sluggish 10+ before.
The new apps are pretty sweet too!
I guess that's my 2cents.

Default no reset required

I'm tickled pink that I no longer have t reset my Sprint Pre before playing a 3-D game. I have not noticed any battery or speed improvements.
