This is an official release and yes, it is installed the same way.Sorry to be dumb, but is this basically just a leak for us all and installed the same way?
Really pal... You know us... If there were a leak, we would have been using it!Last edited by diegonei; 05-09-11 at 06:16 PM.

It happens most of the times yes, but as you can see, we get some good surprises every now and then.lol true true but i think what i was trying to say is why wasn't there a leak? i thought we always get a leak before an official. anyway it's here and i'll wait for some feedback before i dive in
I'd say I'll let you know... But I'm sitting at 25% download right now... ><Last edited by diegonei; 05-09-11 at 07:05 PM.

Kidding obviously....
There are 2 main differences.
First is that most leaks are unbranded, meaning you don't really need to remove the Vendor. Most officially released OS's will have a branded Vendor file, meaning you must remove it unless it's your own carrier.
Secondly, there is a small amount of users who experience file corruption when downloading anything directly from RIM using Firefox or Chrome. Unless you're 100% certain you've successfully downloaded an officially released OS from the main BB site, better safe than sorry and just use IE for the download. (I know... IE = ewww!)

Here's my short-version OS install guide if anyone needs a refresher...
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.

no memory leaks as of yet
most things kept their preferences
apps all work - compatibility is good
RIM based apps did not need to be re authorized with agreement
which was nice for once.
pics seem to load fast
battery seems good thus far - we'll see by tomorrow
battery does charge a bit faster I noticed.
