And I hate that they didnt release for the 9810 yet :(
Who is "Redington"? Is that the Carrier name? Where's it from?
Edit: Never mind, I found it - India.
Does it matter where a leak comes from? I assume no, since I installed and have been using the Telstra (Australia).
Is it better to wait for a North American leak? (Does it reallly matter?)
Dang cdma phone that is way behind on OS builds. :(
Here there a link to it on the BlackBerry site. The posted link goes to a third party web page.

don't waste your time if you're on at&t. you will have a mic that does not work.
:) Nice!!! Downloading now!
The mic issue may be specific to the Bold. Would need someone on the Torch to confirm that its still a problem on AT&T. Otherwise a comment like "don't waste your time" doesn't really help anyone.
Not necessarily. The mic problem is location related. Some ATT users in certain areas do not have a mic problem while other areas have it.
The confirmed "good areas" are: Texas, So. California, Louisville, and Chicago.
There probably are other areas that have no problem as well. But beware if you travel to a bad area, as you will have mic issues.
EDIT: These issues are reported consistently on the 9900 and 9810.
Has anyone tried this build .523. What improvements and changes have been in this build?

Sounds like your carrier is still in the stone ages if they use CDMA. :)
I am using Virgin Mobile Canada which is on Bell Canada's network; they are technically the CDMA network of Canada, yet the offer the 9860 and not the 9850 device. I guess with 3 and 4G being the norm today no uses the older networks anymore (CDMA or GSM).
Yes they are behind but the one that works best where I live and go.
Ditto. Need a decent OS. .5XX have some new tech to kill running processes and keep batt cool (lasts longer) and memory usage down. Just shows how much investment some carriers have in approving updated OSes.
This is just sad. A new OS - nearly a hundred builds higher than the previous leak/official and the findings/ fixes thread on the world's premiere BB enthusiast site is a complete ghost town. Forget looking at stock price, sell through reports, consumer preferences or any other marker. The state of things is plain to see right here.
Just upgraded to .532.
The phone seems to respond alot faster now.
Going to see what the battery life is like.
just sayin.
Anyone know how to get the device analyzer back?
RIM decided to hide it.
In options type alt+bbda and it will show until next pull

That doesn't seem to work with the virtual keyboard.
Edit:
It works but on the 9860 keyboard we have to enter "??5*" (remove the quotation marks).
Installed this morning with no issues. The install took about 45mins, I did do two batt pulls right after. After about 6-7 hrs of running the battery drain is sitting at 4.3% and 6.4 mem leaked, which isn't horrible. I have been using bbm, text, email, app world, ran some games on lunch, and watched a video at break and so far so good.
Everything is running smoothly, a great upgrade from .4xx, as for the media bug I have not noticed it yet but I will test it out some more this evening.
Also have tested Mobile Hotspot on Rogers and all is working wonderfully.
I will keep an eye on it and update any other findings later on.
Should be worth it :)

Oh yeah
P.S: Phone feels snappier................LOL ;)
I just upgraded my phone yesterday. It works great, so if there are great improvements in this upgrade please don't be shy and post.
Nope, doesn't matter, once your language is supported.
I have this on my 9900, there is a HUGE improvement in battery drain, I mean HUGE! :) Let's hope 9860 fairs just as well.
Verizon and Sprint have this to test. Would be nice if a tester dropped a copy on us.
hi everyone
this version has the resource monitor?
Yes, but it is hidden. To reveal it, go into the phone options and type "??5*" (without quotations).
