Research in
Motion (RIM) Philippines nods for the BlackBerry OS 7.1 update in the country
after its international counterpart released the said OS update weeks ago.
However, this catch is only available for BlackBerry Bold 9900. So other BBMs
will have to wait for their GO signal.
This update
enables Bold 9900 users to enjoy an NFC feature called the BlackBerry tag that
could allow NFC-enabled RIM handsets to share information by tapping the phone
against each other. Thus, this also covers the exchange of contacts
information, URLs, photo, apps, multimedia contents, etc – all in just one tap!
One impressive
feature that has also been highlighted is the mobile internet sharing. This
allows the handset to be turned into a mobile hotspot, up to 5 devices. How to
update? You can use your BlackBerry Desktop Manager Software by hooking your
device to your PC or simply checking the RIM update page. We are looking
forward to hearing from you about how this OS treats your BlackBerry.
