I firmly believe is got nothing to do with the firmware but a particular batch of the Beams. Because a lot of people with stock firmwares have no trouble with their Beam since release (eg me)

I heard starhub, which seems to be the main supplier of the beam, has run out of stocks because Samsung has run short of screens for the new phone and won't be getting any till the end of the month.
So it looks like it won't arrive in the UK till the end of September.
Anybody know how long it takes to ship from Singapore to UK because I've had one on order since June and I'm fed up waiting.
Also anyone know if the next batch with already be upgraded with the latest firmware so we don't get the freeze on startup problems.
And I also have read that some people have 'rooted' their Beam to cut down on the lag, a one button operation apparently.
