    I haven't been keeping track of whether or not they've been fixed. All of the people I know who own the phone have had them bricked at least twice (around last Christmas), but they all moved to iPhone. I was wondering if they have it fixed by now?

    As far as I know, its no longer here. Make sure you install OS 7.1 as soon as you get the phone and you should be good to go.

    Like mss-ca suggests, - had 2 brick that were running Os7. My last replacement seems very stable with 7.1. As long as it stays this way till BB10 drops I'll be happy.

    Still happening. I had one brick running 7.1. Convinced its a hardware problem, not software

    The bricking issue has NEVER been resolved, through ANY OS, including 7.1. I am betting they never will either.

    The two instances of bricking reported here are the first ones I've seen in several months. I'd say at the very least it's down to a 'normal' level of malfunctioning hardware not uncommon to any platform. However, considering how few and far between these issues are, when one user encounters it several times on more than one device, you'd have to think it has something to do with software being run on those devices.

    less and less. don' worry about the problem if you like 9900, just choose a believable shop to buy it.

    You guys may be right because I never had an issues with any issues with this phone. I am now on OS 7.1, but I had no issues while I was on OS 7.0 Telus official.

    I haven't seen that many new bricking threads since 7.1 was released.

    I was hoping it was resolved. Seems way less anyway.

    I'm confident enough that it's mostly rare now to get a 9930 when I can upgrade.

    9900 with Bell 7 months no issues. Love the phone. I plug it in all night every night and it always wakes up in the morning.
