Bell has released a small OS update for Curve 9360, Bold 9790 & 9900 users that looks to fix some nagging issues.
The update for the 9360 and 9790 is to OS 7.1.0.2841 while the 9900 version is 7.1.0.2840. It includes additional support and functionality for NFC as well as a fix for 9900 users who were having network connectivity issues after the last update (7.1.0.2108).
