More Details: If things go as we hear they should, the OTA Wireless Update will be available at 12 noon (we assume EST) 9:30pm PST on Friday and is NOW AVAILABLE via Desktop Manager upgrade and from http://www.vzam.net/blackberry/.
Verizon Update Details: Just in, some "official sounding" verbage in regards to tomorrow's release of 4.7.0.75 and what it addresses.
The following issues have been addressed:
- Device may reset intermittently while sitting idle or when using multimedia applications
- User may experience one-way audio (incoming audio is muted) when using voice activated dialing
- When listening to music on low volume while wearing wired headphones, the volume of the music will increase to the highest level when the user receives an incoming call
- Improvements in display performance in terms of switching between landscape and portrait modes and keys displaying correctly
- Improvements in performance for multimedia capabilities such as video, music and MMS
- Improvements in bluetooth audio performance in certain scenarios
*The software update will be available via the desktop manager, web SL and OTA*
* Update: Now that Bell has released the Storm OS at version .76, are you wondering when Verizon will officially release their BlackBerry Storm update? If the image above is to believed (just sent in from a trusted source), then December 5th is the day! *
Now this is weird... they're not even selling the device yet, but you can now download OS 4.7.0.76 for the Bell BlackBerry Storm 9530.
Take note of this forum comment - Verizon does not support this OS, but yes it will work, and yes you need to delete the Vendor XML file. Not sure how to update your OS? Click Here.

In a wireless etc store today at the same time a RIM rep was there. Not saying that this is fact, but he was talking like there wouldn't be enough stock on the Storm for Bell / Telus until Jan 15th. Was talking like shortage of supplier components.
can u download it of your phone tomorrow
I sure hope so. I'll be impatiently waiting for it tomorrow.
no phone but an OS?
Went to the Verizon store today see the tech about my storm. Officially he said the update is coming Tomorrow. Cant Wait.
So I just installed this .76 update from Bell on my Verizon Storm and there is nothing noticeably different from the .75 Leak and this Bell Official. Upgrade if you want or just wait for the official.
I have the storm. I just got it yesterday. How did you get .76? Could you possibly shoot me a link? I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

weird
Kevin, you think this will be available OTA tomorrow??
I *hope* the Verizon update is OTA.
hey kev i would like to email you something important plz shoot me an email at kwoods06@vzw.blackberry.net
so i can send you something
I mean this is the official OS update lol! You would think it would be or the "Wireless Update" feature is useless lol!
My Storm has been rendomly freezing all damn day long, and lag times are really starting to get unbearable. If this update doesn't greatly improve my devise (and i hope it does cause I see the storms potential....I want to love it....I really do) then im gonna have to reunite with the long lost pal.....the curve.
Weird since Bell hasn't released the phone yet... still waiting for the 15th.
Updated to .75 last night luving it. I know all those people who returned their phones last week are kicking themselves
Just as Kevin posted the December 5th update. I received a call from a close Verizon friend and he confirmed that by noon tomorrow the update will be available both by download AND OTA. The software version is the .75 release.
My question though is if its going to be the .75 release, will it be better than the leaked .75 or do ya'll think they will have tweaked it even further?
It will be the same. They would have to change the release number if something was changed.
So, just to clarify, if there's no difference whatsoever between tomorrow's "Official" release of .75 and the "leaked" version from last week, there's no need to upgrade to the official version, right?
I'm just wondering if the "official" version somehow got tweaked from the "leaked" version. They wouldn't need to change the ".75" since technically it was never released yet.
If there was no difference then there would be no reason to wait for this update. I'm thinkin that they had to tweak the leaked version at least somewhat.....I know the leaked version still had problems so here's to hopin that tomorrows update will be even smoother :)
I was in a Verizon store yesterday in Boise, ID and their display models has 4.7.0.75 already on them. It is just a short wait away.
so tomorrow i will be able to download the new update off of my phone in the wireless updates
hahahaha Bell is going backwards!! I guess it's a good thing, there is already an improved OS when the phone is finally released here in canada
It works! :)
Make sure to delete "Vendor XML" once you install .76 in your system
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\vendor.xml
To update your "Precious Storm" launch Blackberry Desktop Manager and navigate to Application Loader; Select the new OS from the two listed available (.65 recommended & .75 current). Once selected pull the Internet cable off your computer to let the update run from your computer. If you don't pull the plug it will not find any updates b/c its running the software online.
It seems to respond a lot faster than on my .75
C'mon Verizon what's the hold up?! :o)
can u do it on your phone
please can you provide us with the link for the new .76 to downloaded
Does this work for Mac computers???? its confusing me.....
can u upgrade it on you phone tomarrow
The best Title ever.
The next question is, will Bell get the Storm someday? :)
The boy genius posted earlier
today that the bell storm has now been delayed.
And the plot thickens....

what is ota and can i download the update of my phone tomorrow since i have a mac and i cant do it off of it. how would i update it from my phone
LOL! what a farce!
will someone please tell me
Yes, theoretically you will be able to update the operating system over the air through your phone tomorrow.
Course, I'll believe it when I see it.
OTA means "Over The Air"
Instead of downloading the entire new OS (will be well over 100MB), you can update your Blackberry Operating system through your actual phone (OTA) by using Options->Advanced Options->Wireless Upgrade->Check for Upgrades...
I'm not sure how long this update will take Over The Air, but it should be less of a hassle than downloading it and manually installing...
I just received my Storm today. I went to options, advanced options, and I do not Wireless Upgrade lisetd.
I have Accessibility, Applications, Browser, Browser Push, Cell Broadcast Settings, Default Services, Enterprise Activation, GPS, Host Routing Table, Maps, Service Book, SIM Card and TCP/IP. Sorry to list them all, but I may be looking in the incorrect area.
Any help? I go into about and it has v4.7.0.65, so I know I will need the upgrade.
Thanks!
it's not in a menu... i saw it in the full applications list of the home screen when i saw it at the store... still waiting for my storm to be shipped (by dec 15th)...
yea i don't see it on my blackberry either under options-advanced options ?? what gives?
As per BB... fix to this is go to opts -> adv opts -> service books -> highlight (don't click) provisioning[otasl] -> press bb key -> click delete -> click bb key again -> click undelete -> go back to main screen and wait about a min or 2....it should then be available
Am i missing something i dont see anything for the Storm or 4.7 on the bell link you posted?
I just received a call from my Verizon rep, and he said the update would be available tomorrow at 5pm. I didn't get to ask about OTA vs desktop install, so I'll have to wait and see.
