I guess this is mainly the Flash 11.1 update we all expected to come!

Wow ... I had actually checked earlier this morning, which has become habit. I probably wouldn't have checked again for a few days, so thanks for this info.

Sheessshhhhh, I go through a ton of angst yesterday evening just to get my new PB up and running, surrounded by unusual peoples at Starbucks, and you'd think that BB would have a heart and downloaded this new OS. Oy vay, I feel me going mashugana.

Must be slow here because the Holiday. This thread should be 2-3 pages by now. Congrats for those that arent on the DEVELOPERS beta.

Wow! They kept a promise. Oh, right, Leapfrog Jim is out of the country. Good work Mike, Scott, everybody else.

Thanks for not forgetting about us.

Well, this is probably the last update until February if that makes you feel any better.

FYI - Still no go regarding Stereo BT Headphones.

BTW, can I get this update using my PC and the BB desktop????

[anindoc]

just wondering any differences one can find with this new update, I dont see any, guessing its all working in the background, would have loved to see some upgrades that were visible upfront.....but its still good, we are inching toward he OS2.0 slowly.

Downloaded and installing, but installation is hung on "installing NFB" for the last 20 min. Could it just be the servers are overloaded? I wouldn't have thought so since the download step was completed.

Not sure what to do now. Would I be crazy to reboot and try over? It says not to interrupt the process or the PB could become unuseable.

[JAGWIRE]

the update has hit up here in the great white north

My web browser seems alot quicker and smoother, once the page has loaded I now don't get any checker boarding when scrolling and the pages load alot quicker for me now too. Can't wait for the full 2.0 update
