Well that took forever, but AT&T has finally decided to give its BlackBerry users some 7.1 love. They have approved and released v7.1.0.694 for the Bold 9900, Torch 9810 and Torch 9860. I personally cannot wait to try it out so let us know what you find in these new OS versions below!
works alot better that 7.1.0.649, which has a huge memory leak. i was always seeing the dreaded black clock. this one seems all good. havent had it on for long but battery seems to be good at the moment. and seems smooth and responsive. need BB10 London asap it looks sexy and i want to make apple users jelous
I upgraded from 342, and used BBSAK to backup apps. After installation my txt msg didn't work, so I called AT&T and they had to re-register my phone to fix it.
Almost as soon as I had upgraded, I got a msg that I needed to upgrade APP World, which I did, and which warned me that a module that BBSAK uses would be changed. I have not tried BBSAK since, but will update this post with the reults when I do.
What it certainly did do was uninstall all my other apps, so fair warning on that. No noticeble improvements in battery life or performance, but one anamoly I have noticed is when I go to search Contacts to make a phone call, it is automatically in Alt mode, so if I press "D" it displays "5" instead, as if searching for phone number. This can be defeated by pressing alt before each entry, but is a nuisance change as far as I am concerned, even if it says "Find contact or dial a number" in faint lettering in the display box. Not quite enough to move backwards in releases, but close.
