If you’re on the Globacom Nigeria network and own a Z10, you can now readily download the new update to BlackBerry 10.2.1. Hopefully other devices and networks should be getting the update soon.
To update simply go to Settings >> Software Updates >> Check for updates
This new update brings the following enhancements:
- Applications – No more limits on the number of applications that can run in the background
- 64GB Support – Now with support for 64GB (or higher) SD cards
- Enhancements to Bluetooth, Media and Browser amongst other improvements
The update is about 72MB is your phone’s OS is up to date and I was able to download it via mobile network unlike in some cases where you’re asked to use Wi-Fi only.
UPDATE: What started out as a 72MB update suddenly changed to 924MB and wouldn’t proceed any further unless I was connected to a Wi-Fi network. I’ll be leaving the update for now till I can renew my wi-fi data
UPDATE 2: I just finished downloading the update in 43 minutes with just N120, thanks to Etisalat PayG Pulse plan. Now installing :)

did you do the update with the Etisalat sim on the device or thru wifi? Thanks for you informative post
@Jimmy: You’re welcome. I updated with the etisalat sim inside my mobile wi-fi device. If you don’t have a wi-fi device, you could put the sim in a device that has portable hotspot capability and create your wi-fi connection.
That’s what I experienced when I upgraded to 10.2.1. As in the whole thing just changed to over 1GB while upgrading. I been want shout but no one to hear me.. :)
@Jide: Lmao. The shock get as e be
3G disappeared from my phone throughout yesterday, e be like say dem don dey feel the load small small :D
@Tobechukwu Nna Etisalat to the rescue. I just load N500 now and it’s downloading fast. I hope they don’t detect and start misbehaving. Lol
I experienced this on the last update sef… never again. Free WiFi all the way! LOL
@Tobechukwu: I just thought of using this Etisalat PayG Pulse but of late the thing has been acting smart. Na after like 30 Minutes the service dey stable.
