About time...

ATT finally released the update. Some nice subtle features added, but I like being able to use some of the cool Nokia apps that I couldn't use before. The glance pic app is nice. It adds a nice level of customization for the glance screen. Now, you don't have to look at m otherwise boring black screen with just the time and battery icon.

Well done Nokia. Hopefully, this app forward thinking doesn't stop, once the officially become part of MS.
