This looks like a first. I have not previously seen a carrier release higher than a beta. Great stuff.

Who needs a beta OS forum when you have an 8900 - lol.

Haha, me too!

I jokingly told the wife that I was excited last night because there's a leaked OS for the 8900. She rolled her eyes and said "what happened to our marriage". Funny.

Ok, i'm out of here to go home and get straight on the laptop!
