Thank you.

With all the problems that have been reported in this build (more than usual), I'm beginning to wonder how this actually passed carrier testing, and even RIM's internal testing.

OS7.1.0.437 was not an accident regarding the missing features, as many people may think Goku.

As a matter of fact, RIM sent out OS7.1.0.437 in a full untouched update to this particular vendor, China Unicom, and for some unknown reason, before they released this OS to the general public, they pulled out many features, which defeats the purpose of upgrading this OS to your BlackBerry Bold 9900.

It doesn't make any sense why they removed these features before they released OS7.1.0.437.

Many BlackBerry Bold 9900 owners, were very unhappy with this OS, and can you really blame them?

What Bold 9900 users should remember is not to place the blame on RIM, all they did was send this OS to China Unicom, and the vendor decided to have a hayday on it.

Keep an eye out for future official BlackBerry Bold 9900 OS updates @BlackBerryOS, we'll be sure to test the OS as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Sounds logical enough,

This could also be like AT&T with the BlackBerry Bridge situation too, perhaps that telecommunications provider wanted to disable certain functionality from within that OS. Rather than disable it for everyone it would make more sense to disable it from the smartphones they don't want accessing these features.

Another thing I think everyone should note is that if two carriers release identical OS revisions, it definitely is possible for them to include different features and functionality. Granted a user can install an OS from any carrier but because RIM does not handle updates directly via OTA like the PlayBook, once the OS is sent to the telecommunications service provider it's at their discretion.

I'm currently running OS7.1.0.428 now.

Thank you.

Well, I'm currently on OS 7.1.0.428 as well...

Whether these features are important to you or not, it doesn't explain how they forgot to include these key features from their updated OS.

I have taken some screen shots to show you what I am missing from OS7.1.0.437, so with this in mind, I may return back to OS7.1.0.428, or simply take the .COD files I have backed up and install them to this current OS (this may be advanced for some users, so please be careful when making such changes to the core OS).

Thank you.

Okay, apart from these 4 features, any idea if there's anything else wrong with 437? Because there's no NFC in India (yet) and Parental Control and Media Server while good features are of no use to me. Battery Saving Mode I could just do without. Any leads?
