Bell Atrix 2.2.2 OTA update is rolling out

[dezzo]

A software update is now available for the Bell version of the Motorola Atrix!

- To download the update manually:
Go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Update
- I'm not sure what the size of the update file is, but I would suggest downloading it over WiFi as opposed to the Bell network so you don't exceed your data allowance and incur extra charges.
- Ensure that your phone is at least 50% charged before attempting the update. Idealy, charge it beyond 50% to be safe.

-- The updated version is v37.23 and brings Android Froyo up to version 2.2.2, and contains numerous updates:
Upload Data Speed
Increased upload speed at which data can travel on the network.

Data and Voice Connection
Improvements to prevent interruptions to data and voice connection.

Screen

Display
Improved International Roaming Warning Message by simplifying user notification so that it only appears on the screen when you move to a new network.

Has anyone had issues with the OTA update?

I'm finding a lot of glitches in terms of scrolling, freezing, and resolution. Specifically, it is not responsive to touch. Confirmed it is not a hardware problem. Only started to happen after I did the OTA update. Some of my system utilities, something is eating up 15-20% of the CPU resources on a constant basis.

Foolishly followed advice to do a factory reset but then remembering that it won't revert firmware.

If this is an OTA problem, how do I revert the firmware back to the original?

Thanks.
