might be a matter of a server refreshing, but I am not seeing the update as available yet.

However, its the same revision and release that has previously been released by Sprint.

I am surprised that Verizon is even supporting this phone at this point, so I am thankful.

Sorry my bad. Got a little too excited there for a moment It's not available yet

Let is know if tis fixes the nuking.

Fixes nuking, but a like any RIM software it breaks as much if more than it fixes. Many users are reporting serious Battery drain issues, there is a confirmed memory leak tied to the media player (narrowed to the indexing function); some GPS tracking and holding issues....

Ya big tease... was sitting there refreshing my browser window on the download site.. haha

strange that it is the exact same build as Sprint.. already have that installed and working fine... other than the sad battery life issue.

[chrisy520]

Well, I guess I'd rather those isses then a dead BlackBerry. I was waiting for this update before I upgraded to the 9930.

7.1 causes at leat 1 media hang per day requiring a bat pull. Typically - Media Processor busy error.

So, they say Mobile Hot Spot will be supported, but does using it incur tethering charges? (you know, b/c Big Red loves charging for everything and anything they can)

I've experienced the same, though I thought it was a problem with Pandora: usually Pandora hangs, and when I try to use Media Player, instead, I get this error.

In addition, I've had problems with phone calls in that the connection is made, but no audio, requiring a battery pull. Then with all these battery pulls, my custom font select reverts back to stock, and another reset corrects.

I was planning on downgrading to the current official VZN version, because it sure seems like this 7.1 build is complete crap. I couldn't care less about the mobile hotspot, to be honest.
