Wow it dropped for 9790 first! :)
Thanks. Will give it a try later. Downloading..
Better download fast :0
@ 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
you have a good eye my friend, looks promising i can now tell my noobie cousin thanks!
so where do you get a 9790? Who is the carier? I have looked at the Crackberry store, and on Blackberry, and can't find it anywhere
trying out now :):D
Soooo ..... whats the 411 ?? GOOD or BAD ???
Thank you.
time to download and install.
Finally!!! You're da man, Bla1ze!
Edit: Dang it...I was hoping for AllLang or EastAsia version :(
FINALLY!!!! YOUR AMAZING! Feels like its been forever waiting for this!!!
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
PPl how about the battery ?
Just finished installing, everything went smooth, no need to delete vendor file as someone alreday suggested. Boot time was usual. There is wifi hot spot option, and battery saver (new), noticed as of now. Normal operations. For battery will need 1 to 2 days time. I will update about battery soon.
Please note: NO FM RADIO.:(
Battery saving mode has been discovered in this leak. Anyone tried?

Hard to say at the moment - only installed a couple of hours ago. However there are new "battery saving" features that can get turned on when the battery is 20% or less. That 20% can be configured - I don't know what those features are yet, haven't tried it.
I deleted the Vendor.xml before i installed this OS (was surprised to see it after installing a leak), not sure if its because of that or not but my Mobile Hotspot feature just asked some setup questions and then i was good to go, i connected my laptop to my 9790 and got pretty decent speed : )
As for battery life... gonna have to give it more time to see the results. So far this OS runs flawlessly and im really happy to have it!
FM Radio only comes with those Curve devices.
Do you guys know if this has Arabic ?
Does any know the name of the "battery saver" .cod?
Was going to ask this,so I could get rid of my 9360, but looks like the 9360 is a keeper.:D
Is it multilanguage?
it does have CJK.alx but if you check the .cod itself, it doesnt have the actual asian languages support
it does have few languages to choose from except asian languages
Yes it does have Arabic language i just installed it on my device and i got the Arabic language. Have fun
