BlackBerry 10.2 leaks have been dropping thick and fast lately and you know 10.2 brings a bucket load of new features with it too. The forums are buzzing with activity with people loading it up on their devices so that they can get the latest features. One thing we're curious about is just how many of you are running a 10.2 leak. One developer took to this Twitter account and stated that he noticed that thousands of BlackBerry users have download his apps are running 10.2.
While he calls it worrying it can be argued that since OS updates are still dependent on carriers, users sometimes have to take matters into their own hands. This was the case when some carriers took their sweet time to release 10.1 but with 10.2 not officially being released yet is it worrying?
We've looked at Ten things we're looking forward to in BlackBerry 10.2 and personally, I'm looking forward to toast nofications, priority Hub and a native Evernote app. As well as the ability to finally specify a tone for each BBM Group, or turn it off all together. I do also like those lock screen notifications too.
So, CrackBerry Nation. Are your running a BlackBerry 10.2 leak? If so, what were your main reasons for jumping the gun and loading it up? For me, personally, I loaded it up initially on my Dev C, then gave it a go on my Q10. While I love the new features I just didn't want unofficial OS on my Q10, so went back to 10.1. I still have 10.2 running on my Dev C but couldn't bring myself to load it onto my daily driver. Maybe that's just me.
We'd like to hear your thoughts on running the leaks. Sound off in the comments.
