battery life on portico is awesome! i usually get about 10% left the next day when i have about 60% left before i go to bed. now, i had about 40% left and that's with wifi always on. i'm watching slingbox on my phone right now for about 1.5 hrs and i still have about 15%. fyi, i updated to portico yesterday morning manually because i couldn't wait.

If it hasnt been posted yet you need to go to the "ADVANCED" tab under Wifi in settings. Check the keep wifi alive after timeout to keep it going.

The camera update rules. Big improvement

Macro shots look even better, white balancing looks better, not as sharp as I like but still great work on Nokia's part.

do programs like words with friends seem more stable on portico? or does it still randomly crash and take forever to load which is the app's problem?

LOL at people saying there's zero improvement. I think some people are expecting the L920 camera to reach DSLR level one day.
It's a PHONE CAMERA for God's sake xD

Does anyone know of a way to view the full change log on the Windows Phone site? I know that you used to be able to do it through WindowsPhone.com for Windows 7 and at the end of my phone's update process today, it said that you could view the update history on WindowsPhone.com, but I can't seem to find it anywhere there.

No one will be 100% happy with anything.

I personally loved the camera pre-update. Anything was better than my 900

This is just icing on the cake!

Yup. There's no 100% perfect phone either. Non-existent

Awesome! Thanks. The Bluetooth fix is what I was hoping for. I can't wait to test it out in my Grand Cherokee where my Bluetooth had only been connecting 50% of the time and always locked up my phone temporarily.
