Very good. You get a star on that^ one...

As far as leak or RC goes, from the screenshots that I saw of a Hong Kong release, from comparing notes with a purchaser, and the timing of the "leak" I'm going to go out on a limb and say this version was not leaked at all. (see THIS and then THIS)

It is possibly the actual firmware that shipped with the Hong Kong release and is pro'ly sitting on a Nokia server that can be accessed by owners of a HK release with the right product ID. <just spec. and not known fact.)

And to respond to geneven's statement from awhile back:..

Portrait browsing will be much better from what I have seen and heard. Instead of a just a viewer like we have now, you are able to navigate away from the page (back) and access the desktop with out first having to revert back to landscape. This all can now be done one handed in portrait mode on the HK version from what I'm told.
If, as someone mentioned earlier, they are working on even more browser improvements before releasing the full, or global PR 1.2; my speculation would be on including a portrait on screen key board to complete the portrait browser experience.

And finally back to benny1967, our man in Vienna...

I'm thinkin' the same thing. The room may be needed for the HK release to be able to upgrade and: what has changed since the HK release was built...
