Enjoy!

Leaked! 9700 OS 6.0.0.344

A note to people who worry about the handset warranty, this will invalidate it should you need to return your phone and be unable to reload an official os before doing so....

Haha I came here for help on the browser issue. Doesn't seem to work on 3G/EDGE. Anyone know why?

Hi Phill (UK)

Thanks for your post here and for information on this release.

As Darkone has stated this will invalidate your warranty should you choose to install this firmware.

Thanks

Looking at some other forums, this leaked FW is plagued with bugs, one of them been the inability to browse over the network.

Also heard that RIM are trying to remove it from fileshare sites etc.

I would steer clear TBH, least as this has been leaked, its an indication that OS6 will be available for def on the Bold and an official release should be soon.

Not true. Most people reporting bugs are in the US. Most VF users (like myself) who are on OS6 on 9700s are having no issues at all. it runs perfectly. You need to completely wipe the device, and when restoring apps etc do that manually rather than relying on DTM. Mine did crash twice but have been using it for over a month now so that's a very small price to pay. I can use internet and all of my apps work on it as well.

Go for it. Forget waiting for VF - what have they done for you lately?

I installed 344 a few days ago and it's working fine. I'm not sure about the homescreen stuff, because the drawers don't seem to be terribly well thought-out, but it does work, it doesn't run like a limping slug (which was my primary concern) and for most things, it's better, although the media player is still a bit gash.

The web browser in particular is an amazing improvement. I've deleted Opera Mini. Don't need it now.

No crashes, either.
