Good thing they're doing something about the battery with this update like they said they would....


Disclaimer: They still could be doing that, I just don't see anything directly related to it there.
Also, I got an extended battery so my tbolt is officially amazing.

From the numbers on it, it is the exact same build as the leaked one.

If this is the same exact thing as the leak, expect THOUSANDS of phones to start rebooting randomly
That is all.

so if we do this update will it unroot our phones?

Notice it mentions My Verizon. Maybe the app will be supported soon (finally).
