Happy Friday to everyone!  A lot of Berry users are going to be quite happy with these leaks.  It looks like OS 7.1.0.402 has leaked out for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930, Torch 9850/9860 and 9810, and the Curve 9370.  It’s not so often that we see CDMA and GSM devices get the same OS love, but we see it happening here.  Click the links below to download the OS for your device.

The BlackBerry Torch 9850 got some OS love today with OS 7.1.0.340.  We’ve seen this version go official before, so don’t be surprised if this one does as well.  For the time being it is leaked, so download and install at your own risk.

Element Mobile has released OS 7.1.0.267 for the BlackBerry Bold 9930, Torch 9850 and Curve 9350 yesterday.  All of course are official builds, so you can be “worry safe” downloading if you were doubting the beta builds in the past.  OS 7.1 includes new features such as Mobile Hotspot, which is something the majority were waiting for in BlackBerry smartphones.  Click the link below to download!

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!

Along with the BlackBerry Bold 9930, the BlackBerry Torch 9850 is also joining in on OS 7.1.  Both of these OS builds are being pushed over the air through Wireless Update on BlackBerry so you won’t be able to do a desktop download just yet.  The update is for Sprint devices only, but of course once that desktop download goes live you’ll be able to install on other CDMA Berrys as well.  As for those who are on Sprint Torches and Bolds, head over to Wireless Update and download away!

It’s about time we see the all new BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860 in a commercial.  Something we haven’t really seen yet, but was much needed since most of the spotlight goes to the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930.  So here’s a full blown 30 second commercial taking you through some cool multimedia on the Torch.  Unfortunately, the old YouTube website is being used in the clip, when it would have been cooler with the new HTML 5 enabled page.  The commercial works though and I want to use the Torch more when i see it.

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.
