A few days ago we let you know that OS 7.1 would be officially releasing for the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and Torch 9850.  It looks like some users are starting to get the update in today officially.  You still can’t pick up the official desktop download from Verizon, but it should be flying over the air to your device shortly.  Let us know if you get the update!

When OS 7.1.0.163 officially released by Sprint for the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 last week, there were no desktop downloads available as it was only being pushed over the air to devices.  So if you had a CDMA Torch or Bold and wanted the OS, you couldn’t get it installed- until now!  Over the weekend I managed to download OS 7.right off the BlackBerry website to put it on my Verizon Bold 9930.  So feel free to pick it up for the Bold or Torch.  Keep in mind this is for CDMA users only!

The BlackBerry Bold 9930 hasn’t been getting much love in the OS department. For months we’ve been seeing the GSM 9900 getting all the OS updates both officially and leaked. Now we have Sprint pushing out OS 7.1 to BlackBerry Bold 9930 users over the air. The desktop download isn’t available yet but I’m sure we’ll see it come soon enough. That way some of you Verizon users can get in on it! Tune into wireless updates and keep refreshing for the update.

Last week I experienced quite a few 102 errors on my BlackBerry Bold 9930.  Over the last month, I was hearing about it occurring to many other Bold users around me and was seriously expecting it to hit my at any time.  Well it did, and yeah it’s a pain in the ass.  The 102 error requires you to reboot your BlackBerry and reload the OS to use again.  Users have been able to get by this with various tricks (share them with us if you’re one of those people!).

Have any of you received the horrific 102 error? Did it happen to you at the worst time possible? Share your stories with us!

According to CNBC, a "limited number of customers have reported an issue where their device does not power on."  The devices included are the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930.  Lately I’ve been hearing from a few friends and users on the site that they have had many error messages on their Bolds and some powering issues where the device would just brick.  So RIM’s response back is that they are working on a software update for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 which is supposed to be a fix for this “limited number of customers” who are having this issue.  Any Bold users out there encountering issues?

PTCI has release OS 7.0.0.362 for the BlackBerry Bold 9930, Curve 9350 and Torch 9850 all together.  Great for CDMA users who aren’t too satisfied with the latest leaks and want to go official with a newer build.  I haven’t tried this one yet, but maybe will on my Bold 9930.  Let us know what you spot in this new build.
