That's quick? Unnecessarily cumbersome, IME. This is the quick, easy, and correct way to do it, at least with a leak (you do not need to delete vendor.xml with a leak):
1. Download the OS and install it (i.e., run the .exe file).
2. Connect your BB and run BB Desktop Software (v. 6.0 or greater). When it asks if you want to install the update, click on "Get update."
3. Accept the subsequent default Data Backup option (which has "Back up device data" checked and "Encrypt backup data" unchecked) by clicking on "Install update."
ok downloaded and loaded onto my phone, things seem to be the same, but then again i dont notice too much, but now that im at work, i'll see how the battery does for the next few days.

The rest takes care of itself....
If you want to do it even quicker, skip step one. There's no need to remove prior OS's for an OS update, and it gives you the option of going back to an older one at any point. I have every 9800 OS since .246 installed on my computer.
Even though I was pretty much satisfied with .576, I couldn't resist downloading this. Will report of battery and other differences in a couple of days but I got to say that the browser is lightning quick for a Blackberry!
Can someone check to see if the issue with dialling from call screen using touch is fixed. Instead of using track pad to select a person to dial. If this is fixed I will update. Actually I will probably update anyway I've had 4 or 5 hard locks of the BB with the previous build. Never had hard locks before.

I'm able to navigate using touch from one name to another from my "Dialed" list if that answers your questions.
browser seems the same
still cant tap to call contact from call log (which im ok with that)
home screen preferences still cannot be accessed
after taking a picture the lag is still there when immediately trying to view it, though the scrolling through pictures seems fine to me.
battery life obviously have to wait and see, but i know on the last version it sucked for me as i had to charge every day and i'm only a moderate user, mostly texts and a few phone calls, browsing internet and taking pictures. i dont use bbm, rarely play music, rarely use gps or any have any other heavy usage, so the battery needing charged every day was ridiculous to me.
