Is there a bricking issue with latest firmware ?
- I have a Bold 9930 which is bricked. I loved the phone except for the fact that it bricked within two months and was unable to be repaired. My question to you is if the newer firmwares such as 7.1 and higher still have the bricking issue or is it something of the past. I am getting a 990 for around $200 and want to know if to take it or not ?03-02-12 12:36 PMLike 0

You'll get a kick outta this... this morning I went to go grab mine off the charger and a big WTF was said out loud. It wasn't charged, it was sitting at 35%. I slapped myself to make sure it I wasn't dreaming.
Yeah.. the charger was unplugged from the wall. Who's the dumb*** now?
Not too bad though. When I thought I put it on the charger it was under 45% and it was only at 35% this morning.Last edited by dustanh; 03-02-12 at 02:37 PM.

Looks like RIM is gonna get away with it
Regardless of the way they handled the PR of it. Good job to RIM.03-02-12 08:06 PMLike 0 - I'm on my 3rd that came with 7.1 installed. I won't be happy anywhere else so I told Vz to "just keep them coming". The tech support girl said they are fully aware of the issue and don't have a problem replacing them for me. She did let me know what we see as numerous bricking is nothing compared to the new Droids bricking epidemic. So far 7.1 seems very stable. As long as BB 10 drops, I'll use my upgrade when it does.03-02-12 10:21 PMLike 0
- Thanks Guys ! As soon as I get my new 9900/30 I will definitely make sure it's on 7.1 or later. But just one more question. What is the most stable software out right now with the least bugs.03-03-12 08:49 AMLike 0

Seems to be fairly bug free, I have been running on my 9900 since the day it leaked with no issues.03-03-12 08:56 AMLike 0 - It is a little early to really know. There are also less users.
