My new 9900 arrived yesterday afternoon. I was upgrading from a 9800.
I ended up using the Asian version from one of the links to the SK site. The direct link to the All Languages in post 23 downloaded a small executable file which, when clicked, my computer said it was not compatable with 64 bit windows.
Asian gave me English so that is fine. Looked like I was getting Japanise and Chineze characters also. It has been so long that I did a major OS upgrade that I am not sure how to get rid of unnecessary stuff.
I did a switch device from my 9800, both data and 3rd party apps. It chocked on Blackberry AppWorld as not being compatable, DM shut down and I did not get any other apps teransferred from AppWorld on.
A corrupted version of the standard Blackberry Theme appeared (with no row of icons showing as default. I had been using a third party primarily calendar app which worked mostly OK on my 9800, but which will not work at all on my 9900.
So after the truncated switch device I loaded up 7.1.0.267, to see if the corrupted standard Blackberry theme with a default of no rows of icons would do the trick. No luck.
I did a BBSAK wipe and reloaded .267 and I have at least one row of icons by default. Will now have to reload all my third party apps, manually (I have a BBSAK backup, but am now concerned about compatability issues with the new hardware and OS up from 6.0) from app world or directly form 3rd party sites.
Tried hotspot last night and it seem to work well.
