Did my usual handset check for updates this morning and there is nothing available; 7.0 is still current according to the OTA updater.

BUT...when I plugged in to Desktop Manager to sync my calendar it informed me that an update is available;

7.1 Bundle 921 (v7.1.0.267, Platform 5.1.0.230)

An update of BlackBerry® Device Software version 7.1 is available. This update includes optimizations and enhancements approved by your wireless service provider. Note: If your device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, contact your administrator for more information about updating.

So here we go.............

Weird I just checked and even their website still says 7.0.0.858 is the current update.

.585 still showing on the Telus 9900 OS page.

Yes I mentioned that (oops I actually said 858 not 585; but yes the website hasn't been updated). Not sure what's going on but I'm downloading something.....

[Phill_UK]

DM will show a carrier OS update way before it's available from RIM's software download site.

So Mikey... was the update for 7.1?

[Mikey_T]

What you see in the first post is what I know so far; it says v7.1 Bundle 921 (v7.1.0.267, Platform 5.1.0.230)

I had to download an update to Desktop Manager first.

[Mikey_T]

OS is backed-up and installing now; modules 26 of 729.

Could take a while, I'll let you know when it's done!

[RPM_KW]

Wait....Does this mean that Telus is first (for official)? It it a miracle!

Didn't T-Mobile and Sask Tel already release?

Has ANYBODY else checked their DM yet to see if they have this update? I'm on module 118 now; taking forever......

Leaked version installed relatively quickly, maybe loads of bloatware on the "official" version.

[RPM_KW]

Crap, forgot about those 2. OK, first in Canada!

LOL, Sask-Tel is in Saskatchewan.

Could just be my internet connection; I'm on rural wireless and it's not particularly fast.

[LordCrankypants]

I'll hook my phone up to the DM when I get home to see if the Rogers version is out aleady.

TMO released .205 then pulled it, and SK Telecom released .267 then pulled it... so Telus 'could' be the first

[Mikey_T]

Ok it's confirmed, Telus 7.1 is out.

Mine is still downloading but my sister upgraded hers on a proper broadband conection and her mobile hotspot is functioning.

Cool.

[RPM_KW]

Was it not SK tel (not Sask tel)?

[Mikey_T]

I assumed SK tel was Sask Tel.

Anyway; Telus is out; I'm installed, everything seems to work. Mobile Hotspot is on-board of course; how do I tell if the wifi calling or UMA is enabled?

[mssca]

I won't get the DM pop up for this because I already have the leaked OS 7.1 installed on my Telus phone. But it would be nice to see an official update from Telus, which used to be like AT&T when it comes to releasing new OS versions for their BlackBerry users.

[dalmondWR]

Thanks for the heads up. I am now updated on my Telus 9900 through DM (Mac).

[mssca]

What version of the OS is pushed to your DM? Is it a newer version than the 7.1.0.267? The RIM's Telus Download page has not been updated yet; https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/D...84132DE5.node1

Thank you for the information.

It's .267 and RIM's software download site is always the last place to get updated.

This OS will still show as a 'Recommended' update for you if you use DM.

Yes, I know that the RIM's website updates on downloads are slow. I am going to change my leaked OS .267 to this one because it would be identical. I wonder if Telus is aware of the few bugs I found.

[Phill_UK]

I am going to change my leaked OS .267 to this one because it would be identical.

Why?

[mssca]

Why?

It was a typo... It should read I am NOT going to change my OS to the one that being released by Telus right now because they are identical.
