    A friend of mine has version .250 while I have .254 but when he goes to Software Updates its telling him his software is up to date.
    Where can I tell him to go to get .254 and why isnt his phone telling his his software is NOT up to date?

    Different networks get different updates.

    Sometimes updates are pushed little by little to keep the servers running at optimal speed.

    Are you both with the same carrier?

    Because if not, each carrier decides both what OS update and what time they want to release the updates.

    He's on Tmobile.

    Is there any way for him to get .254?

    Yes there is a way, but from the sounds of things I would not recommend you proceed down that path, because once T-Mobile releases an update his phone will not accept it automatically.
    Why are you so adament that he update to .254, is .250 having issues? or is it just so that you both have the same software version?

    You may not always have the same version because you're on a 9930 and your friend has a 9900 (they each have their own independent OS).

    The latest available OS' for each device are listed in the Sticky section at the top of the 9900/9930 forum.

    Hes having quite a few problems. Lags, freezes, etc. Me on the other hand...I have no problems at all. So i figured-lets try and get him 254.

    FYI: There isn't a .254 for the 9900. As I mentioned, it uses a different OS from your 9930.

    From what I recall the 9900 has: .250, .261, .296, .317, .353 (best IMO)

    Found this great resource listing all official OS releases for the 9900 (not 9930): 9900 : the official OS releases - BlackBerry Support Community Forums
