It's been a few days now since OS 10.2.0.1047 leaked for all BlackBerry 10 devices. The forums have been buzzing with questions and comments about the new OS, as well as those who are still hesitant to give it a shot.
I loaded up OS 10.2 on both my Q10 and Z10 over the weekend and I have to say that surprisingly, things are running very well so far. While there are a few bugs here and there, nothing major has popped up yet that makes me want to drop back down to an official release. We'll see how things go over the next week but for now 10.2 is where it's at.
OS 10.2 brings some sweet features like toasts, lockscreen notifications, a new copy/paste popup, priority inbox and much more. The new features are a big addition from what we've seen so far on BlackBerry 10 and are being welcomed with open arms.
We're curious to know just how many of you took the plunge as well. There are many "official OS" diehards that simply won't install a leaked OS at all, but for those of you that have, how are things going so far? Any big issues?
Hit up the poll below and let us know if you did or did not install the leaked OS (or if you're still not sure) then head to the comments and let us know how it's working for you.

CrackBerry Asks: Do you prefer the BlackBerry Z30 in white or black?
More and more users are getting their hands on a BlackBerry Z30 as it makes its way around the globe. It's been available now for a few weeks and many are upgrading from a Z10 or Q10 with great results. While most carriers are only offering up the Z30 in the standard black version, some (like Vodafone) are offering the white version as well. There's never really been a BlackBerry that...
CrackBerry Asks: Are you running OS 10.2.1.1055?
It's not often that we see a leaked OS offer up as much as 10.2.1.1055 does. This is one leak that has seemingly topped all BlackBerry 10 leaks we've seen in the past, offering up a slew of new features including APK installs, picture password, new call screen, contact profiles and much, much more. Users that have stayed away from leaks in the past are firing up autoloaders to get in on...
