Check it out:

Software Update: BlackBerry® Bold™ 9930 smartphone - COMING SOON!

And the link:

7.0.0.374

According to the .pdf, both NFC and PTT are enabled with this update. Haven't installed it yet.

What OS did it come with I already forgot? LOL

And it says coming soon but you included the link. Seems its coming now. Wish this happened at 8 in the morning. Now I have to wait.

Loading it up now....and thanks so much OP!!

**manofice1** · 10-18-2011, 04:36 PM

surprised we didn't get a leak of this, anyways, it's the highest build for the 9930 yet so i'll be loading this up tomorrow

**kashabrown** · 10-18-2011, 04:45 PM

So far - so good. Loaded up nicely (from .362). I will report back regarding battery life....

**kjjb0204** · 10-18-2011, 04:46 PM

Curious to see if there's any enhancements over 362 that I've been running for weeks. Didn't see any notes about battery life.

Ok, all you guinea pigs. Let us know how it's going with this update!

Also (Don't bash me over the head with this one), but if this supports PTT from Verizon, what happens when we use this update on a different carrier's phone? I know, we delete the vendor.xml file, but does that strip out and Verizon functions and leaves, say, Sprint's that's already on mine? I'm not expecting to get the features, just that it won't foul anything up.

**pushfan** · 10-18-2011, 05:12 PM

why can't this be accessed through Desktop?

**lazerus** · 10-18-2011, 05:22 PM

This OS was wrought by the fingertips of God.

I'm blown away.

Sweet. NFC ill finally look into now and PTT is cool, but Only other Bold 9930 users have to have it right?

It's in one of the other leaked builds but I don't think any other 9930's have it carrier supported yet. The 9900, OTOH...

**andino** · 10-18-2011, 05:35 PM

I'm loading it up now. Will report back in a few days about battery life performance and what not. Excited though with all the new BB news from DevCon too haha

**pushfan** · 10-18-2011, 05:57 PM

Just checked with RIM to find out why it is not on Desktop or why Verizon has not sent a notice. Told, it is not yet approved for release and if it causes problems getting it through 3rd party could void warranty. FYI

FYI, the download link is from VZW's server.

**otacon#AC** · 10-18-2011, 06:12 PM

The download link is: http://pcdn1-download.vzw.com/win/A7...A7.0.0.374.exe

The PDF says: MR1 = 7.0 Release 1739 (App: 7.0.0.374, Platform: 5.0.0.552)

The download is from Verizon's servers it's not a leak it just hasn't gone live yet.

**Broly** · 10-18-2011, 06:15 PM

Can anyone who has been experiencing the SMS issue (message memory is full or whatever) on their 9930 verify that this bug has been fixed in 374?

It seems like they have fixed it given the patch notes. Would be interested in seeing a hybrid for the 9900.

**kazn3r** · 10-18-2011, 06:18 PM

can someone help me do this on mac. .exe isnt compatible obviously...and DM doesnt prompt me...

*and ota says im up to date...

LOL they are still telling people that?

And as stated above it is an official release downloaded from VZW's own servers so that is not a third party.

You'll have to wait until it goes live or if someone can find the version for a MAC and post a link. Shouldn't have to wait more than a day or two I'd venture a guess.

**kazn3r** · 10-18-2011, 06:34 PM

thank you. i will wait until tonight/tmrw when it's clearly live.

**bearclawcoffee** · 10-18-2011, 06:37 PM

I am downloading from my phone with that link - oof 189MB

**RHP23** · 10-18-2011, 07:27 PM

You guys think this one is a no-brainer coming frOm .362?

Or should I wait to hear about batt life, bugs, etc?

Could a VZW official possily be worse than one from 'Panhandle Communications' or whatever it is? Haha

**vimmadi13** · 10-18-2011, 07:27 PM

It may be dumb que...can I update this OS on my Sprint 9930??

**Terrigno** · 10-18-2011, 07:33 PM

It seems alright this update. Notice the NFC enabled in the top drop down. PTT also but I don't subscribe to that. It seems a little bit snappier. But I notice on the Verizon boot up screen, at the very bottom right corner there is what makes the screen look like, a blown pixel. Weird. No other screens throughout have that at all and I almost flipped. Anyone else, boot up and tell me if you see the same thing. I don't see it on any other backgrounds on that spot. Just the Verizon boot up logo screen.
