Yes, thats why I havent rooted my device yet... I was expecting a number of updates to be rolled out shortly after release. Then to have to root again each time :p

Nothing wrong with the iPhone. If it weren't for Apple and the iPhone, none of us would be using this phone right now. People seem to get all anti-fanboy about Apple and forget about these little facts ;)

Do I prefer my Android phone? Yes. Do I think the iPhone is crap? Hell no, it was an absolutely phenomenal invention and completely changed the way we use our phones.

Now, can anyone confirm that we can re-root the phone after the upgrade please? :)

Shouldn't come as a surprise that Kies doesn't let me have this. Where can I download this update so I can update through Odin?

    Can anybody point me to the rooting thread that contains KE7 stock kernel ? Thanks.

    Dev forum.

    KE7 Kernel is up and Odin Firmware package is uploading. :)

    Things i've noticed are;

    - Auto-brightness isn't as choppy/make huge changes, much smoother.

    - Battery life seems to be fairing a bit better.

    - Phone seems speedier;
    On KE1 my average quadrant score was 3,100. On KE7 the average score is 3,500.

    On KE1 my average smartbench 2011 score was 3,700/2,200. Now my average is 4,000/2,400.

    Haven't noticed anything else yet.

    *EDIT*

    - GPS is more accurate. Before I'd get Accurate to 22m-28m. Now I get accurate to 8m-14m.

    *EDIT 2*

    - Pink spot on the camera is MUCH MUCH less pronounced! Almost impossible to see it.

    *EDIT 3*

    - When the phone boots up there is more RAM free than before. On KE1 after turning the phone on, RAM usage would be at ~330mb/837mb. But now on startup its about 280mb/837mb. And when you click "clear memory" it free's up more RAM than it used to.

    Perhaps if it was a 'fact' people wouldn't forget it. Apple are experts at taking other people's ideas, making them shiny and easy to use, then through a media love-fest and some clever advertising, making certain people believe they were the first to come up with the concept. And you seem to have fallen for it. I bet you think the iPod was the first MP3 player too..... ;)

    As for the new firmware, I wish they would come up with some changelogs for these things.

    one of the changes of KE7 i have noticed, is that The phone can now connect to Adhock networks :D

    there were problems with Adhock earlier ;)
