I'm currently using the leaked 359 with no issues at all. Now keep in mind its only been about a week and so far so good with it. Of course, I'd like to see a newer OS tossed out there for us, but I have no complaints with what I have.
Just a couple of points to those currently using the leaked version of .359
1) This is exactly the same build, so there's no reason to change/re-install
2) Any bugs you were experiencing in the leaked version, will still be present in this official version
It doesn't work that way with BB Operating Systems, there is no latest and greatest, if an OS does what you need, and the higher version looks the same and has the same features, then no need, That is why I was always using 5.0.0.714 on my 9700 in the past, I only upgraded to OS 6 on it as it did make my phone have more features and better performance.
Remember 862 on the 9000 that made the ringtones go silent and later was publicly announced by RIM that it had a bug?
Any bugs you had in the leaked version, will still be there in this official version... it's the same OS
This is not true, the txt msging bug where you could not use "t" and "b" to go to the top and bottom of the convo is fixed. also havent had an issues with bbm as well on the official release. So i would say that there may be tings different than what is in the leak.
can anyone confirm it doesnt have that bug that you have to scroll down on bbm chats after you type something
i had the leaked one and went back to 294 just to get rid of that bug
so annoying
I also downgraded from the leak because of the bbm/txt msg bugs with scrolling. They havent been issues with the official version, i've only been using it a few hours, but those were the first things i checked once i loaded the OS and they are fixed, makes it well worth it for me.

No, it's not. Duh!
Speaking for ourselves, are we?

Ditto.. I have been running it for few hours, and could tell that this build have fixed several known bugs from the leaked version.

I got this to load on my tmobile 9780, but it looked like it didn't have a theme? Kept rebooting. Had to downgrade.. What did I do wrong?
*****EDIT**** I just read somewhere we have to delete the tmobile themes like on the ol 9700... I just did that, and am reloading right now...lets see if it works!

Have you tried deleting vendor.xml before installing the update? If you forgot to do so, please go to this directory (on PC): c:\program files->common files->research in motion->apploader->find the vendor.xml and delete it; reload the OS to your device.
Phil this is not the same as the leak, no way mate. My BB runs spot on. Everything is 100% fine. I do not have the white line on the bottom when pressing and holding down my BB button too.
@daleandla, don't forget to delete files :
- vendor.xml
- net_rim_theme_tmobile_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod
- net_rim_theme_tmobileeu_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod
before you upgrade the OS. The files are located in \program files\common files\research in motions.
Anyway, after hours I see this version bring a stable runs. Hope there's no problems at all.

You guys could be correct, so apologies if I jumped the gun with my statement that they were identical.
When an OS goes official, it's usually exactly the same as the previous leaked version, especially when the package and platform numbers are unchanged.
I've never experienced any SMS bugs, the white line on App Switcher bug, and I don't use BBM, so can't comment on those... but if this one is working well you both, then that's great to hear
I'm not upgrading. My stock is working well enough. Some texting glitches but I'll probably wait because I don't see anything saying those are fixed in the latest release. I just came from the EVO and I remember how weak the blackberry releases really were. I sometimes wonder why I so viciously downgraded but then I realize it's all about the keyboard.
I had the same issue with the total white UI. used BBSAK to wipe out the tmobile theme and it loaded up fine afterward. Basically Load BBSAK > Modify COD's > Read System > search for the tmobile theme then select remove.
