              BB should really get credit for being early with the security updates.
              Even the AT&T branded one, has been early available, September it was on the 9.
              *Thumbs up*

              Unfortunately there are no RSS so you will have to keep an eye out for yourself, if you do not get OTA updates. (Autoloader will wipe the phone, so good backup is needed)
