 BlackBerry Storm OS 4.7.0.148!

*UPDATE* -Update services are now live, go and get your .148 on if you haven't already.

After hearing that OS 4.7.0.141 failed Verizon testing, and seeing yesterdays MR2 info sheet, everyone has been getting a bit anxious waiting for something from Big Red.  Well we just officially got word that Verizon will release OS 4.7.0.148 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 this Sunday, May 31st at 3pm EST. 

Customers will be able to get the update via the Web at www.blackberry.com/update beginning Sunday, May 31 from 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Verizon Wireless will also be rolling this update out to customers through an over-the-air download beginning Sunday night (10 p.m. Eastern Time). To get the download over the air, go to Options> Advanced Options > Wireless Updates.  

It's about time right?  Hopefully this update will have some good fixes. Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

I connect my Blackberry to my laptop via the USB and the updates came up and loaded. Try doing that. I believe the update via Verizon for over the air will not be released until 10 p.m. but you can via your computer now by connecting your storm to the computer through blackberry desktop manager

I just connected the storm to update my outlook and it started automatically, with a few yes no screens. I will post when the update is done, Sorry it took so long to post but we had a few problems. All resolved. We had to restore all of the email, SMS and other stuff. Then we had to do a battery pull to get the internet up and running. But other than that all went smooth

I can't get the upgrade through the BB website because I am on the Enterprise Server. I tried to get it through the wireless upgrade, but I get an error when I try that method ("Unable to send request for available upgrades."). I called Verizon "support", and they refuse to answer any questions on any upgrade subjects until after 10:00 pm.

Great news for people that don't like messing with leaked OSes

Slickness!

I'll still believe it when I see it!!!!!!! As long as we've waited, you can't blame me for being pessimistic. We've all earned the right by now, so I'm staying pessimistic until Sunday!!!!

 
 
Posted by JohnKaw Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

Exactly

 
 
Posted by NewbieWZ Saturday, May 30, 2009 979 days ago

With all the false rumors and Verizon's absolute silence, there is no way I'm believing this rumor until the upgrade is on my phone.

 
 
Posted by jawbone Sunday, May 31, 2009 978 days ago

Looks like your skepticism was deserved or they are late to the party. So much for that!

 
 
Posted by Ronindan Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

Excellent saves me the hassle of loading the beta version

 
 
Posted by ridavid81 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

Is everyone positive the offical .148 and the leaked .148 are exactly the same? The official doesn't have any last minute fixes RIM may have thrown in?

Is there a need to wipe .148 leaked and install .148 official?

 
 
Posted by jfsalewicz Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

No you do not have to wipe

 
 
Posted by BlackberryGreenhorn Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

I always wipe, but that's just how I was raised.

 
 
Posted by august829 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

LMAO!!!

 
 
Posted by SouthernSaltine Saturday, May 30, 2009 979 days ago

Always, Front to Back then Back to Front.

 
 
Posted by AntonioLoveless Sunday, May 31, 2009 978 days ago

That was actually really funny...thanks for the laugh. =)~

 
 
Posted by EnergyPlus Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

"Isthe leaked OS 148 the same as the official one?"

::: sigh ::: What do people think these numbers MEAN? If one iota of the software was changed, then it would NO LONGER be 148!!! That's why they have the numbers folks...please, THINK!

 
 
Posted by mykpfsu Friday, May 29, 2009 979 days ago

At best the version number would change if they added an enhancement or fix. If however they tweaked one of the existing fixes or enhancements the version number would not change because there would be no added content.

 
 
Posted by Dave12308 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

.148 is a very old build of 4.7 to RIM, as a matter of fact, 4.7 development has ceased. They are not going to go back and modify an "ancient" build. If VZW found problems in testing, they would not have passed it, and would have likely placed a .15x build into testing. Remember, development has CEASED on 4.7; but builds up to .21x exist, if I am not mistaken. I believe that RIM is already up to 5.0.0.13x builds internally.

 
 
Posted by rj5570 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

I need a new leak, cause I dont like the fact that I am running the same OS as norms!

 
 
Posted by Captain_Choppy Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

Go for a hybrid! Pretty sure I'm gonna stick with lyric's .148/5.0 even when the official hits

 
 
Posted by PaintDrinkingPete Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

It's running very well for me--but if I hadn't already loaded the hybrid, I'd be installing this.

Regardless, 148 is heads and shoulders better than 75.

W............................

 
 
Posted by theol913 Sunday, May 31, 2009 978 days ago

tru that!

 
 
Posted by leecott Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

I like being ahead of the game(I've had .148 since the day it leaked on the forums), I saw my friend today with his storm and laughed at its slowness, he's running the good ol' .75.

 
 
Posted by Dave12308 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

There's that f---ing sense of entitlement that alot of Storm owners seem to have, rearing its ugly head once again...........

 
 
Posted by tmoney1046 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

will it be the same .148 that we already have?

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 31, 2009 978 days ago

.148 is .148 no matter what

 
 
Posted by paulanthonyc Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO .203??????!!!!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by codemaker Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

.203 and .148 are the same thing. One is the platform version and one is the application version.

 
 
Posted by angelm1249 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

so what would be the difference between platform and app version??? sry im new to BB and some of these teams go over my head, lol

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 31, 2009 978 days ago

NO the platform for .148 is .181 NOT .203

 
 
Posted by eedwards29 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

It's about time. I hope this really does fix the multiple problems.

 
 
Posted by n0t0ryus1 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

This sucks...

.148 gives me horrible radio problems and its still pretty slow when you actually put it to use.

 
 
Posted by pastorbrad Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

Believe it when I see it. However official it sounds, this has been going on for six months now...

 
 
Posted by navy_seal85 Friday, May 29, 2009 980 days ago

132 is still the best for me. I'll be sticking with 132 for a while.

 
 
Posted by Mr.Miagi Saturday, May 30, 2009 979 days ago

I completely agree. .148 is fast but my radio is so shady. I kept trying to reload .132 but everytime .148 comes back even though I uninstalled it.

 
 
Posted by Mr. Orange 645 Monday, Jun 01, 2009 977 days ago

If you're using DM 4.7, you will need to disconnect from the internet before you try to download .132. Apparently 4.7 will check online for the latest update and will override your downgrade, so to speak.
