@ Bla1ze: Haha, funny how on your picture the displayed time says 2:47 when the leak is in fact also .247

That's a pretty good coincidence isn't it

Installing the OS...most of the applications have latest versions will update on install...

Also has a "battery safe mode"

No need to delete vendor.xml as it's an empty file when it comes to leaks.

Device software load took the usual 30 minutes.

CJK.alx does exist in this release - CN/JP/KR/etc character fonts are installed. I hope that RIM have given up not including them by default in some of their releases.

Wi-fi hotspot present - needs APN name (and possibly also APN username/password) credentials from the mobile network provider.

Device initialisation takes the same time - no improvement there.

Clock screen looks different - alarm time is now framed in its own box.

Universal search now includes "web suggestions by bing" - can turn that off in the options...

No doubt more goodies to explore, but meanwhile don't be afraid to install this release. The upgrade process worked flawless for me.

Finished installing, applications are updated

BBM to 6.1.0.55
Documents to go to 3.0.0.212
Facebook:2.0.0.61
