I can confirm you can now switch between audio streams in videos Works great.
Now please add subtitle support too

My phone after new fw and syncing with outlook has become EXTREMLEY SLOW, especially while opening calendar... though i can confirm calendar entries do sync

They also added a USB Charge button which is something i specifically pointed out in my bugs list, will check other items and let you know.

what do you mean usb charge button? i could already charge through usb on 0.8.0.3

there are new setting options on both pages of settings too. im not liking the copy paste bubble though

For making screenshots you have to push the M and the power button at the same time. You can find the image files in Camera Album folder.

What anxiousone means is that they've added the option to NOT charge the device when you plug it in to your computer via usb. Some people like this option because the battery may already be full or if your using your laptop away from a power source you may not want to empty your laptop battery into your phone. I'm sure there are other reasons too, but these are the only ones I can think of for now.

Camera is much better with this firmware under low light conditions. No more of those blurry shots.

how can i zoom with the camera?
