Well, after a week of playing with 1.8.0, I've decided to revert back to 1.7.1 as I find it more stable, less "laggy", and doesn't chew up as much RAM on my TP2.

I was using Bing Navigation since TeleNav couldn't find the address I was looking for. Due to the heavy resouce drain 1.8.0 was causing, Bing shut itself off multiple times, causing a 45 minute drive to become 1 hour and 5 minutes, almost making me late for a pick-up that could've potentially cost my company a lot of money.

My ram usage was idling around 74%-77% ON 1.8.0. So far I'm holding under 70% on 1.7.1.

I haven't heard anyone else mention a RAM issue; but as much as I enjoy the new toggle switches on the new version, I'll be waiting to see if 1.8.5 runs more efficiently for my needs.

If not, 1.7.1 will always have a home on my SD card.
