If you read my first post you would see that I can't do it because of my BES status. Umm yeah I know that as well.

Wireless OTA updates as well as auto updates via the Desktop Manager are typically not offered to BES subscribers, which might answer why some see it and others do not. Also, for web-based updates, RIM verifies "eligibility" by PIN, which ties a device to a carrier. Also, this specific release (i.e., OS v4.7.1.57) apparently addresses a known security vulnerability in OS v4.7.1.x (http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/viewContent.do?externalId=KB19552, "BlackBerry Browser dialog box does not clearly indicate mismatches between web site domain names and associated certificates"). The KB article also identifies other OS versions that are affected and the OS version that fixes the issue. I don’t believe that it is specific to an area.

If this is legit I wonder when they will post it up for download. I just checked the sprint download site on blackberry.com and they have not posted it up.

Took about an hour and a half and I don't see anything different. Haven't had a chance to try the bluetooth yet though. It sucks because before the update I had 99mb of memory still left on my phone and now I start out with 79 after a battery pull. Don't download it if you aren't having any problems.
