Verizon Wireless may finally have both the BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 on its shelves, but the big red carrier is also still offering the BlackBerry 7.1-powered Bold 9930 as well. Verizon has shown this weekend that it's still committed to supporting the Bold 9930 and its owners as well, as the operator has announced a new software update for the QWERTY-clad device.
Verizon has announced an update to OS 7.1.0.991 for the BlackBerry Bold 9930 on the phone's official support page. This update is a biggie, packing in a number of enhancements and bug fixes. Some of the tweaks that Bold 9930 owners can expect to see after the update dust settles are better battery life, enhanced Push to Talk and Bluetooth connectivity and improved trackpad responsiveness. The full changelog for the OS 7.1.0.991 update is available at the bottom of this post.
There's been no official word from Verizon about this update's rollout, but it sounds like some Bold 9930 users have already begun receiving it. If you're rocking a Verizon-branded 9930 and haven't yet been bumped up to OS 7.1.0.991, you can check for the update on your device by going into Options > Device > Software Updates, by plugging your phone into your computer and pointing your web browser at www.blackberry.com/updates or by running the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software.
