I just got an email from RIM saying that there are new updates available. I'm on my way to work so I don't get to play with it now. Does anybody know what 4.7.1 will offer?

ALWAYS backup your phone first. Always always always always! Even if the Loader or DM does it for you, ALWAYS do it, that way you can go back easily and do selective restores/updates when needed. Always!
This is probably 4.7.1.53, but would need to confirm. There is a long post about it in the Beta/Hybrid forum. I'm already running that OS version, and I don't show an available update.
got the same email and tried wireless update but nothing?
Just got off the phone with VZW tech support and there's no wireless update available for this yet. VZW won't make an OTA update available for this release until they officially approve it, which, per tech support, hasn't happened yet.
If you're on a PC, you'll have to update via Desktop Manager. If you're on a Mac, you'll either have to find a friend with a PC, try updating with the beta DM for Mac, or wait for either the OTA to become available or for the official DM for Mac to become available.
mine didnt recognize it for the wireless update either, maybe bc vzw hasnt approved it, IDK, but the link works, almost finished with the DL

It is best to not use OTA OS updates! Do it manually, and you will have less to no problems with your load not to mention you have more control when loading through DM or AppLoader
