Verizon 7.1.0.580: Correct release for the Americas?

Troubleshooting the non-functioning emergency alert app, appears to have turned into a quest. I checked the BB os executable I downloaded from RIM when 7.1.0.580 became available and it is exactly the same as what I just downloaded from Verizon through Smith Micro. I examined the binaries and the CRC32�s match, so there�s no difference. However, I haven�t seen a good explanation of the differences between the �standard� and �Multilanguage� versions, other than the obvious. Smith Micro�s download page allows choosing either one, but only shows correct stats for the �standard� release, even when you download the Multilanguage. I�m guessing that the service areas covered for each one has an impact on what the emergency alert app is seeing (and rejecting). The two current VZW releases for 7.1.0.580 are:

9930cmpttAMEA_PBr7.1.0_rel1737_PL5.1.0.429_A7.1.0. 580.exe - CRC32: CCA6F59B Hex

9930cmpttjAllLang_PBr7.1.0_rel1737_PL5.1.0.429_A7. 1.0.580.exe - CRC32: 81368775 Hex

Would anyone be familiar with the systems (and countries) covered by each version of this release?

Not one person familiar with these two releases?

Verizon just released a software update version 7.1.0.755. This update fixed some internal issues. Maybe it will help you understand the issue you are talking about..

No, it adds no clarity and same questions. Still have two versions for the .755 release:

9930cmpttAMEA_PBr7.1.0_rel2123_PL5.1.0.553_A7.1.0. 755.exe

and:

9930cmpttjAllLang_PBr7.1.0_rel2123_PL5.1.0.553_A7. 1.0.755.exe

Thanks for the info, that wasn�t coming up for me when I searched RIM�s support bulletins.

If the language package is the only difference, then that particular choice would have no impact at all on the serving market (either localized or by continent)? Once again a RIM technical support person gave me wrong information. Wow, what a surprise.
