We want to see official 7.1 OS
Go Carriers, release it.

Grab the 7.1 leak. I've been using it on my 9860 for a week and it works like a charm.

Rogers told me that 'a new version is coming, and will solve many issues' with their OS7 devices.

Ronzdaname Jan 17, 2012 at 8:43 pm

Mine is okay. But it locks up constantly. I cannot get this update to load. Any thoughts?

Will this OS update work on my PB?

Staaleh Jan 17, 2012 at 11:12 am

Nevermind.

I just loaded in to my PB and it works flawlessly! :P
Installing it on my 9800 next. So excited!!!

Wow even carriers that I've never even heard of are releasing updates while T-Mobile leaves me at this crappy 7.0.0.250 OS... I would even be happy if they released a higher version of 7.0 at this point! This current OS sucks I mean the battery life is absurd, no wifi calling, my internet services randomly disappears until I do a battery pull and a lot of the time the GPS doesn't even work! Like seriously!? Come on T-Mobile release a damn update already!!! Going back to when people first got their 9780s back in November, 2010 and had to wait all the way until March, 2011 for them to release OS 6.0.0.448 for the 9780 and they stuck with 6.0.0.285 even though it was an absolutely horrible OS (Not to mention the fact that that's also the same time the 9700 and 9300 were also updated to BlackBerry 6 altogether) smh...

Make sure the vendor.xml file is deleted... Also you're better off using the AppLoader than Desktop Manager.
