Unfortunately, there are some problems with the standard version of the update, so BlackBerry Bold 9930 are recommended to download and install the multi-language variant of OS 7.1.0.755 from RIM’s servers.

Although the Big Red already published the official changelog of this update, BlackBerry Bold 9930 users report that some of these improvements or new features have been available since previous updates were rolled out.
