As I said in my reply to Todd, this was the model I could not buy in the uk. I've forgotten which chipset is in the model I've got, but 9.0 recognised it for what it is. However, any attempt to access it caused a total freeze. I haven't tried it under 9.1 yet, as it's no longer urgent and I hate the risk. However, if you wouldn't mind posting a complete how-to I would try to apply it to my device. Thanks Anne
