The progress bar at the bottom of the boot screen is thinner... That's all i got so far, it's still booting.

No problems with the update. Not much different that I've found so far. Initial memory on reboot 26.9 with one or two apps installed.

[sf18443]

Okay, I am up and running. Lyr, I did run 6.0Files.exe on top of this Leak. So far, very snappy.
I am running:
BerryJoose
Opera Mini 5
BBM Beta 5.0.1.17
BB Traffic BETA
Berry Weather
Player for Youtube
Poynt
Tether

Available memory at Initial boot: 24MB (Keep in mind I have 8 email accounts and bunches of messages)

I also noticed that Blackberry Messenger is (like it was in some other OS versions) now listed as a Core application instead of an Add-on

Are you using the new beta BBM ? Does it work with this leak ? IE does the Group chat keyboard work.

[sf18443]

Yeah I am using the new BBM beta 5.0.1 and Groups work much better with this build than with previous builds. I am not getting near as much lag as before.

Edit: and yes keyboard works just fine.

[sf18443]

So far, I'm in love. I just want that to be known

Camera's broke, at least on mine. As soon as you touch the screen it locks up for around 20 sec. then goes normal again.

[yodatom10]

I just installed it. You won't get a good idea of battery life for at least two or three days of constant use. People who immeadiately put a new OS on and tell you the battery life is great are full of it.

[barnanimal]

Mine is so bad I can almost watch it go down by the minute. lol. jk. kind of

[Slik_Rick]

.591 battery so bad you will know if this is better after 30 mins. Done 2 reboots, reset severa passwords at several sites, reprogrammed *228 the phone, and only down to 90 percent. Yes the battery life is better and the video camera has good sound.
