              mojo, 10 Feb 2012i have updated my 9900 to the latest 7.1...works perfectly ... moreeasy as pie...
              go to the site of blackberry... download the 216 MB OS7.1 package.
              Ensure u have the desktop manager of blackberry installed.
              Then, when the package is downloaded... just double click and follow the instructions.
              Only when it tells you, should u attach ur fone.
              voila, an hour later, everything will be done.

              Ensure u back up ur fone.
