I upgraded my sola when it first release months ago, you missing one the best feature of the update, which is glove mode.
ReplyDeleteBut, Sola, not that compatible with ICS, it more laggy than before, most probably amount of RAM stock with Sola.
Had to let go my Sola after update, so can't explore much.
that's right. one obvious problem you will counter after upgrading to ICS is the phone becomes a lil bit laggy compared to when it runs on Gingerbread.
ReplyDeleteah yes, there is Glove Mode that I accidentally left to mention.
