Etisalat have just sent out a statement on the issues surrounding their troubled software patch for BlackBerry customers. It doesn't say much, but we've been asking them for comment for days now, and beggars can't be choosers. Here is the statement:

Etisalat BlackBerry Software Upgrade Aims to Enhance Performance of Devices and Facilitate Handover from 3G to 2G Networks
Abu Dhabi 15 July 2009:
Etisalat today confirmed that a conflict in the settings in some BlackBerry devices has led to a slight technical fault while upgrading the software of these devices. This has resulted in reduced battery life in a very limited number of devices. Etisalat has received approximately 300 complaints to date, out of its total customer base which exceeds 145,000.
These upgrades were required for service enhancements particularly for issues identified related to the handover between 2G to 3G network coverage areas.
Customers who have been affected are advised to call 101 where they will be given instructions on how to restore their handset to its original state. This will resolve the issue completely.
