Hello you all, I wanted to update my BB with the latest OS out there, I read somewhere that a 4.2 OS was available but I could not find it anywhere, I found this one and it looks like it is the newest version out there:

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.1.0.560 (Multilanguage)
Package Version: 4.1.0.560
Consisting of:
* Applications: 4.1.0.382
* Software Platform: 2.1.1.52

I hope this helps someone, and if anyone knows of a newer version please post or send me a PM, I just download it last night and I’m thinking on installing it later today, will post my review later this week, have a nice one everybody and god bless all.

I do believe that is the latest version for the 7100i.

I think that's the latest version. The 7100i is pretty old.

It is pretty old, but Nextel only has two iDen phones, the 7100i and the 7520, and since I use a lot the walki talki feature it is my only option, I read that sprint is going to release a new BB iDen Device, rumors say it is based on the BB Curve design, I can’t wait to flush my 7100i down the toilet. In the meanwhile I will work with what I have.

It's the 8350; search for information on it here...

Is there a link to that new software for the 7100? I need it, because when I put 4.1 on my 71xx I can no longer send out text messages. No SMS or MMS. please help. I actually have a 7105t from t-mobile. They had me reinstall but no luck.

Check at Tmobile Download Page

Try resending you service books to your device from the BIS webpage nextel.blackberry.com
If that doesn't work, go to "Options-->Advanced Options-->Service Book" and click on each one and delete it.
You won't be able to delete the Provisioning one.
Then resend the service books back. They should all repopulate OTA including the one for MMS.

Please note that the person who asked (6 weeks ago) about MMS is on T-Mobile and not Nextel.. They have a 7105t from T-Mobile.

Does anyone have the site where I can get the software for the 7100i? It doesn't have to be the latest, just one that will make it work.

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.1.0.560 (Multilanguage)

i need this file plz help me somebody to post here the link.

https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do this is the only one i can find

ok so my old cell broke so i went on ebay n bought a blackberry 7100i i love it the only thing is i didnt get directions for it or anything just the charger im confused and i dont know what to do for the enterprise activation.like do i have to do that or can i just leave it go?

i bought a blackberry 7100i on ebay.all i got was the phone and charger im confused and dont know what to do.there is this thing called enterprise activation do i have to do that?because i dont have the e-mail or pass.can someone help?

Will you be getting e-mail from a work e-mail address (as opposed to a person e-mail address)?

On boost your arent going to get much

Put down the BlackBerry and step away. Back up slowly, don't run, and don't turn your back on it.

All kidding aside, Enterprise Activation is only if you're connecting to a corporate BES system at work. Home users need a BIS BlackBerry Data Plan. Stands for BlackBerry Internet Service. Once you have the Nextel BlackBerry Plan active on your account you will get the option to set it up without Enterprise Email.

Do you know where can I find the BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.1.0.560 (Multilanguage).
I need to download it.
Thans, a lot.

Thanks, a lot, SouthWestComm...!!! But the version found was BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.1.0.525 (Multilanguage)

I suppose .560 doesn't exist - especially for that old device.

Thanks, again...!!!

this is a Nextel phone. i hope you're using sprint/nextel or boost mobile. its not gonna work with gsm carries like t-mobile or at&t.

You know...with the economy the way it is..using boost is a viable alternative. I have the 7100i and as old as it is, they didn't officially stop selling it until 6 months ago. This phone is better than any phone that boost is offering and better than most (non-smart) vanilla keyboard phones. This phone having smart features makes it one of the best. I have known about problem associated with this phone when installing ring tones (problem easily solved..i solved it myself and you can look up boost central in Google to see my answer and other answers to questions you may need answered).I love this phone. It syncs with outlook. You can send MMS message with a wallpaper and instantly save/use it. I have tons of java games and i am paying almost nothing for ring tones and wallpapers. This phone even surfs the net faster than using a native boost phone. So calling this phone old is kind of misleading because it has better tech than all the phones boost is selling right now including the new I465 clutch.

Hiylow I am thinking of using the 7100i on the boost mobile unlimited plan myself. Unfortunqately I am unemployed (blasted economy) ad my ATT wireless account is eating me alive with overage costs as I look for new employment. I have a 7100i that I can use on boost and I also have a google voice number so I was planning to use the google voice website for my sms. Just how fast is the internet access using the 7100i? Is it reasonable? (subjective I know, but I'd like it to be AT LEAST as fast as a dialup plan) Thanks for any tips you may have.

Rather than mess with a cut-rate/cut-service carrier like Boost, consider switching from AT&T to Sprint. That's what I did, and my monthly bill went from $104 to $55, with the same plan features.

Of course network coverage is critical in a decision like this. A bargain rate is no bargain at all if you can't get a signal. But for me Sprint's coverage is AT LEAST equal to AT&T's, probably better. And $55/month for 450 minutes and unlimited BIS + unlimited messaging & data is tough to beat. My local rep set me up with a small monthly discount for being in "government employment." I'm not really, but he figured I could use a $15 discount each month. And if you're collecting unemployment, isn't that like working for the government? After all, they're paying you. Tell the rep you do some consulting for the local Police Department. You can claim to "audit their parking structure", which just means you walk around their parking lot looking at stuff.

I NEED IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE, PLEASE!!! I have received what I believe to be an SMS message/text message on my 7100i and I "NEED" to find out what phone # it came from ASAP!!! Thank you in advance for any assistance!!!

Why do you think it is a SMS text message?

At the top of the SMS message would be a person's name (if they are in your Address Book, or a phone number.

What is at the top of your message?

If you choose "reply" to the message, it should show who you are replying to.

There is only the date @ the top "Sep 21, 2009 7:51:47 PM" That's it. I've never had the option to "reply" and if there is no signature attached to the text, I have no idea who it's from!

On a 7100, you would click the trackwheel, and what options do you see?

That's it

eh, ok, so it is non-reply number.

IF it is a SMS message, your carrier billing might be able to tell you from what number it originated. Sounds like it might have been a spam or mass produced SMS, which may have NO phone number connected to it.
