Here's my short-version OS install guide before the questions come...
ELITE1's Quick OS6 UPGRADE GUIDE
(Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from your PC.
Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer to do so, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, the browser is irrelevant though.)
Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
Go through any 3rd party apps that have option to save settings to media card, and conduct Backup to media card from menu within each of these apps. (Examples: all Bellshare apps such as BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps such as Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; Show Me The Images; etc).
Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
(Optional) Use desktop program like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
On PC, navigate to
�64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete file therein called Vendor.
�32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete file therein called Vendor.
(Optional/Recommended) Run BB Boss or Shrink-A-OS/BBHybrids Tool.
In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click on Loader to initiate OS upgrade. Follow onscreen instructions.
This has been an issue in multiple OS's across multiple devices.
With some OS's for some apps, selecting Paste from the MENU won't work. So here's your workaround alternatives.
When you're at the spot where you wish to Paste the keycode you've Copied:
Hold down the Trackpad to open the Context Menu, select Paste; or
(Touchscreen only) Hold down your finger to open the Context Menu, select Paste; or
Click either SHIFT key then the Trackpad. This should simply Paste the item; however it was broken in 486 and either didn't work or opened the Context Menu so you can still Paste.
Do you know if we'll see this leak for the 9700 anytime soon?
There should because it seems like .448 its for all OS6 devices but nobody reached it yet. BBH+ gonna release same for 9100&9105 but nothing on 9700 no love for Bold 9700 yet.

Torrent available attached. Hopefully you'll be able to avoid Megaupload or other nasty sites by using this. I'll seed for the next few days. Please seed once downloaded to keep the speed up!
I attached as a ZIP because I can't attach torrents directly.
I'm such a pro at this now! Hopefully no problems, now that I've declared my professional status.lol
Just one question, though: I usually always delete previous OS. I ran into issues deleting the previous OS so I just went ahead and installed. Will this cause problems when I use AppLoader? I use a netbook to download/install Blackberry stuff and it got stuck deleting the previous OS so I just gave up because it was being too slow.

By "delete" do you mean "uninstall"? Or do you simply delete the folder containing the previous OS'?
Ok guys, I shrunk it, also removed BBM in the shrink as I wanted to install the latest BBM 6.0.0.56 later on. After the installation was done, I just loaded 6.0.0.56
This OS is very very snappy, and BBM 6.0.0.56 rocks!
Now bugs noted so far, but it is too soon to give a final opinion to be honest.
I will start the Meter Berry battery discharge rate per hour now as usual and will report back within 3 days if the battery life has improved or not
