Thanks for the replies.

Yes, I understand that it's a network-driven issue, but only the newer phones are able to receive Emergency Alerts.

Call me an ostrich putting my head in the sand, but I'd rather have a phone that cannot be comandeered by T-Mobile or the government.

Still think I'll go back to a 9700. The battery life on this BB 9900 is BAD.

But just in case I get more affection for the 9900 over the weekend, is there an Operating Syatem upgrade that gets better battery life? I'm presently using v.7.1.0.284.

Thanks
