- International keyboard available
- No horizontal text messaging (per villanova329)

- Screenshots of 1.1.2 from MacNN
- Custom Ringtones section

Check out these files:

• rental-content
• rental-bag
• rbsync
• source-rental-info
• dest-rental-info
• getvodaccountselectionlist
• GET VOD ACCOUNT SELECTION LIST
• supportsRentals

We’ll have to see what happens!
