    You can’t move APPS to SD Card, even with the new JB upgrade.

      I could do that without the upgrade

    I personally think the phone operated faster with ICS. Even though JB has kool features it seemed to slightly degrade performance on my phone. Maybe its just me, but all in all I love this phone.

    Oh how I hate this phone. I cannot turn off the autocorrect nor find the help that I need to do so. where is the instruction booklet. I am old school and do not appreciate having to search the web for instructions. Auto correct keeps correcting my road names to words. How do I kill it? or should I just throw this piece of crap off the balcony. Oh, and you should know I always buy Motorola, but in a stupid phone. everyone told me this would be easy to use, but it is not.
