OMG, be prepared to take back (almost) everything you disliked about v1.x.

FAST with my T608. TH now loads the entire page and allows for *real* scrolling. Pages render better. Minimal but adequate text editing is now supported. Wow, wow, wow.

I was considering dropping my subscription but now I will definitely keep it!

Yeah - I've been playing with it too, very impressed. I was going to wait for a "final" release to post on it. Maybe I should post earlier...

I stopped using it a while back, but if it has real scrolling now I'll definitely try it again. Though I'll probably wait until I get my new (hopefully not mythical) 4700.

It does, and it is very, very fast. It's crashed exactly once, but overall, quite impressive.

Where is Thunderhawk 2.0 available ? I don't see anything on their website except for news items announcing it.

Excellent, the scrolling works much better than the older version. That was the part that was a pain and they've certainly solved it...makes my signup for my next one year contract a far simpler decision. Thanks !!

Version 2 is very recent. If you have it, you'll know? :P
