I had an issue with this release. I loaded it and as now still have it loaded to double check my issue, but it's about to come off. Unlike the previous ver. This one does not like getting disconnected from the internet. I have wireless in my room and let Skype and messenger run. This way if my wife or someone wants to get a hold of me they can just IM me and I don't have to lug my laptop back and forth. Oops I forgot to mention I work out of the country. Well I don't turn the wireless off on my phone when I leave my room to go to work. It will loose connection and so will MSN and Skype. No biggie. When I go back to my room the wireless reconnects and then I just re log into the services. Well the new Skype tries to re connect to the internet the entire time your wireless is offline. I noticed my hip feeling hot and pulled out my phone. It was VERY warm and the battery was almost dead. The battery it's self was what was making the phone hot. It was also running very sluggish as well. I noticed Skype was trying to connect. To make a long story short, it seems if you loose connection while Skype is running it will try to reconnect and not stop till it had a connection. I would guess this uses most of the CPU resources (hence the sluggish operation) and consumed almost the entire battery in about an hour (probably the reason the battery was so damn hot). I tested this several times with the same results.
