Ahh, that time again folks. Get your Desktop Manager loaded up and USB cables plugged in.... it's time for another leaked Storm OS upgrade. As always, be sure to make note of the warning below and review the forums threads indicated below for full details. Big ups to DonNguyen for posting this one up in the forums!
*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS).

Awwww another "Leaked" OS for the Verizon cry babies..lol. Still nothing "Official" huh?..figures.
lol why are you getting at the verizon users? hater
what a f***kface
Woohoo crackberry
I hear that this leak is in final testing at VZW. May this be the official? I hope so. My source - blackberryos.com
I cant wait to read all the review about it and update my OS again.
Loaded it up at 4am this morning, thought maybe I was dreaming, but when I woke up for real it WAS on my phone. ;)
who cares if its official dude..this is part of the storm culture now hahaha ive actually been waiting for this. its not even a matter of should i or should i not..and who even cares to write comments saying theyre gonna wait and read comments first...im on the bandwagon already...it'll be on my phone in a minute!
Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!
Ride or DieHard! Live on the edge, die young and leave a good lookin corpse!
im a trooper and wait for the official which should be around the corner, besides this might the Verizons band-aid for rejecting .141... but i would not mind if you guys post any differences in OS from .132, .141, & .148...thanks
I'm at the point were i don't even care anymore about these leaks. I need stability and reliability.... IM SURE THIS IS LIKE ALL THE PREVIOUS LEAKS. I'll try anyway
Just when I am out. You pull me back in. I tried .141 and hated it. Wouldn't stay sync'd in the seidio dock. Probably wasn't the OS but the OS wasn't stable for me.
I tried .131 and loved it. Then I couldn't do a manual back up so I deleted it and went back to .75 yesterday. Ugh now I have to do another OS Leak.
Oh well. I can't live without the transparent folders and full portrait qwerty keyboard. :)
They made me a offer I couldn't I couldn't refuse...
Tony Soprano did it, The GodFather did it- RIM is doing it, and its worked out so far! LOL!
Well Its installed. Upgrade went without a flaw. I just installed it and did a fresh battery pull and started out with 60 mb of free memory. Then again I really dont have many apps installed. So far so good. Not much of a change that I can see from .141... Still quirky at times going from portrait to landscape, but I'm used to it.
So far so good.... The browser is SO fast this time. Unusually fast! Anyone else notice this? I haven't really noticed any other changes... It seems like the .141 problems have been fixed as of now. (Screen lock is fixed) But we will see what happens as the day progresses.
I hate all these new leeks and iv still never tried one I'm still running .75 and its bugging the hell out of me. I just keep telling my self that Verizon is going to release the new OS any day now. And every day I'm disappointed I think its time for me to just upgrade with a leek and be done with it!
My first leak was .131 and I love it! I'm not going to try any others just because my phone is actually functional now.
hmmm seeing that screen lock was never a problem for me i would like to say there is NO difference from .141 or .132 and i think the browser has been the same since .132 i think its just ppl wanting to BELIEVE somethin has changed rather than something actually changing or getting fixed lol i mean what exactly are we looking for?? the phone is actually usable, the browser works great, it has a functionable camera and video camera (which i think should be faster, but it works nonetheless). i did notice an IM folder and Phone icon in the menu that i may have missed in the past 3 OS's or maybe its just the theme that i used.other than that i just believe this is, as said earlier, Verizons band-aid.
@ jonathon
When I locked my phone on .141 it was just thinking the whole time (which killed my battery) and I could also unlock it by pressing any of the 4 keys... totally useless. now it is not doing that anymore. I am not making things up.
I have a Storm and I keep contacting verizon to see what they will offer customer who have the storm to upgrade to the storm 2, and I don't get a definite answer. I really would love to win one.
I'm tempted to try this one out, but my Storm has been running fine on .132.
Whatever... I hope I win one, and then the Storm 3 will come out a few weeks later. Check the weather forecast - theres enough storms coming through here...
...because that was corny!
I just recently went from a curve 8330 to a storm. Love the phone, typing will be another learning experience, but coming along great. I would love to fall in love with a new phone. I'm still in my honeymoon stage with the storm 1. I hope she won't be disappointed when I win a new storm 2 and put her on the shelf. LOL
Im sorry to hear that dude. I wasnt trying to make a liar out of anyone.I was simply stating that on my particular storm I never had a lock issue. Some smart phones seem to be dumber than others...im saying my storm never thinks alot (lol for a sense of humor) and i never had an issue with the lock button (im no making this up) and ive never had an issue with battery power or memory leak. but if you do decide to update and thrn i hope it makes your day that much better :) but other than that,i'd like to say there hasnt been a major difference from .132...and anyone has their right to disagree.
Is anyone having any problems with their 3rd party apps?
I had problems with QuickLaunch on 141. Haven't upgraded to 148 yet. Waiting to hear from others before I do.
for some reason berrypopup shows message box in half screen mode with the bottom half showing a keyboard. i tried disabling compatibility mode and that didnt work
This just started happening to me and i am still on .75 so i dont think it is related to the OS. Still trying to figure out how to get it back to normal...

My Storm rocks and I love it, but at times it makes me want to pull my hair out if I had any! Would love to upgrade to the Storm 2. Come on VZW, please release the OS update for the Storm so we can at least survive until the new Storm 2 blows into town!
I've been debating if I want to get the next storm or not. I have the first one under a 2 year contract and am guessing I'll have to pay the full price for the S2. But that wifi is a real bonus!!!
LOVING IT SO FAR! i had radio problems with other versions of software, this one is running strong, and its FAST...
so i tried the link for the change log and it wont link me...the link here given
http://tinyurl.com/470148changelog works but to actually download it...doesnt seem to work and i have already experienced where when using the camera or video camera nothing shows thru the view finder...ifi cant fix it im going back to .141
Here we go again! I will have to give this a shot. I have not been successful in upgrading OS's! Cannot and have not gotten one to load!
Moan Moan Moan, Blah Blah Blah, Wah Wah Wah. Where's .148 for us 9500 users. We never get anything. The world hates us. Verizon work for satan waffle waffle.
This is what it is like for us 9500 users everytime we get an OS update (leaked or official). So All 9530 users be happy with this news. Download and install it and enjoy. So what if it's not official. It will not make your Storm any worse that .78 already has it running. It will improve it. Trust Me. If you don't like it you can go back to the old OS no problem. Verizon will not come round to your house with large men and beat you up for doing this. So just do it and give the rest of us storm users a break for a while. Rant Over
I love my Storm by the way :)
Peace Out
Didn't 9500 owners already get an official update a couple weeks ago. I am pretty sure it was bell but it might have been telus.
I thought the attention had shifted. Verizon users are now owed a new Storm 2 because of all their hassles, no???
my wife and i both have the storm and hate them. we have all the same problems everyone talks about with no help from VZW...they just take your money and forget you when it comes to service. i hope they jump on the wagon with this OS update..but we all know they won't. i talked to a verizon rep (in clearwater,fl) the other day about the storm2 and what if anything VZW will do for us storm1 owners, he advise that they were told (in their staff meeting)that VZW will come out with an OS update for our storm1 phones and then storm2 will be released, An NOTHING more will be done for storm1 owners. no rebates no returns, no deals...full price to upgrade. way to go VZW
I can not wait to get my hands on the Storm 2 with the official .75 OS that I am sure will come with it since VZW still has not found a better one yet!
