Not a bad turnaround time... Less than 24 hours after OS 4.7.0.141 dropped in the forums for the BlackBerry Storm 9500, it has now surfaced for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Be sure to read the disclaimer below... then let the fun and games begin!
*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).

Legalize gay marraige!
As much as I agree with you (and I'm heterosexual, by the way), this isn't exactly a political forum. I was looking for a way to report this comment as inappropriate but couldn't find one. So I thought I'd reply instead.
fuc* you faggot. Why should you get married you can't get no kids. This is agains God's will and you will burn in Hell.
"you can't get no kids" Hey there bud.....why didn't God teach you proper grammer?
Oh.. .and on a side note....you should read the bible, maybe you can learn something ;)
Silly hedero, God is for GAYS!!!!
Why. Get your own thing for this unique perversion - marraige is more value driven, you might even say it's "spiritual".
How can you and why would you want to be defined by what you do inyour bedroom? Try thinking it through!!!!
No way! Man is between a man and a woman only.
i just installed 132 and am loving it so far. i shall do the usual and wait for the pros and cons before installing this one.
I've been checking all day for this to post. I love how the CrackBerry Nation is very timely with the leaked OS's. Thanks!
Was just reading the forums for the hybrid version so I could put it on my 9530, come back to the main page and BAM here the leaked version for the 9530, and on the heels of 132. Let the downloading begin. Already a late night and it's gonna get later. Post results as soon as I have them.
BGR is reporting that this is the next official Verizon release, according to their "ninja". Hope it is! This wait is getting balls!
Yes bout to dl this jammy
I knew I woke up for a reason
hmmm wonder what can be different so quickly...
Knew this was coming soon and it's finally here. Thanks for the latest fix Crackberry.
i wonder if the lock function is jacked on this version like the 9500
finally figured out why OS .122 and .132 wasn't loading and now .141 @ 1AM?! this better be worth only getting 3 hrs of sleep for....
anyone have it up and running yet?
Wheres the Official? Verizon !!!!! you got alot of explaining to do...im here thinking an Official still running on .75..imma be patient maybe this weekend an official will be out...
Don't hold your breath.
Don't even wait trust me, I've waited also until I saw the .132 update and then couldn't resist that I'm so far behind and still using the .75, and when I did upgrade I regret not doing it earlier, it's definitely worth it in my opinion. I wasn't disappointed at all.
I don't know, I really want to download the new update but I'm loving this .132, but I'll wait and hear some comments on this update.
I'm so close to snapping and downloading a leaked OS. But i herd that this is gonna be the official vzw upgrade so i think I'll give it another week.
No sleep tonight, will post my findings. Thanks for the leak!
all loaded up...lets see what this can do...
i just now finished installing .132 after spending all day on it since i was having trouble then this pops up!!! wowo im downloading right now and i be installing fresh in the morning ! hope to see some responses from peeps to see whats new!!!
Here comes a load of stupid comments!!!!
When the heck are we going to get an official update?!
And I am Sooooooooooooooooo sick of people asking for an official update. It does not matter if the update is from RIM or Verizon, its all good.
Yea, go take a look at the "Findings" thread for this leaked OS (and read all the issues ppl are having with it!) and stop flaming ppl for being skeptical of downloading leaks. Word of advice...its not always "all good."
If ppl wanna wait and complain, they have that right, just like you have the right to hop on every leak that comes out...NEITHER side has much patience if you wanna be completely honest.
No, it absolutely DOES matter if it's official or leaked. For one thing, though I admit your mileage may vary, you may not be able to have your Storm serviced if you are running anything but the official firmware. Technically, you are either breaching or outright voiding your warranty when you install a leaked OS. So, no, it definitely does matter for the reason I explained and dozens more and people are right to complain about an ongoing five-month gap in official OSes.
I replace my BlackBerry every 6 months or so anyway, so I don't care about the warranty. I'm very hard on devices...definitely an abuser! If something happens which will require me to take the phone in for service, I'll downgrade the OS to the official version before calling or appearing in the store. These unofficial versions are leaked for a reason. Both RIM and Verizon need real life feedback & use cases. We're basically acting as beta testers for them. If that's not your thing, and I'm fine if it's not, then steer clear of the leaked OS posts and let the rest of us guinea pigs do our jobs! :-)
hopefully it works great keep em coming crackberry!!!!!!!!
so far so good...camera is much better, texting seems easier, and it seems to be holding my current theme a lot better than .114.
you ppl that are still waiting for an "official" update! quit being weenies! just do it...its not that difficult..its alot better than complaing.
and how many ppl are going to post comments say theyr GOING to do it and get back with the results!?...just do it and post the results...
im downloading now. whats the worst that could happen?? a warranty void? hahaha
i would update but im a mac user. still running .75 and i have no hope in verizon releasing this build or any other any time soon. I gave up on them a long time ago. on another note, a guy at the bar yesterday told me that I can be a millionaire by age 26 if I can stay sober long enough...I ordered another drink...
i had 113 and liked it had some bugs but pretty solid for me.
then i tried 132 and i thought my internet slowed and where app froze upon loading and would not go back to portrait mode for a while so far this is the best but lets give it a day and see if i still feel the same.
dude i have a mac as well but i have use a program called VMware Fusion and it lets me run a "virtual machine" of windows on my mac...its sooo worth it.you get the best of both worlds. you should definitely look into.
youre running .75!! im sure youre irritated with the phone.
nice thanks man ill check it out now and update asap. thanks for the tip
Or you can try Parallels Desktop 4.0. That's what I use on my Mac, to get better of both worlds, hehe....
Do you guys think that Verizon has been holding out on the official release because they're trying to release the next update as version 5.0?!?
so tell me why in the middle of the update it stops and says "fatal error occured.please try again"!?
wtf!? ive never had this problem before!!!
I guess thats the "worst that could happen" Mr. I Wish Everyone Would Stop Being Weenies. This leaked OS has given many ppl issues...so get off the backs of ppl who wanna wait for an official. APPARENTLY it's not a crazy idea! You should know.
Foot in the mouth...
This is probably the most snappiest version I've ever used. 113 was good, 122 was better, 131 was eh OK, but 141 definitely one of a kind.
Noticed my web browser loads pages much faster
Accessing multimedia and music is very snappy and plays immediately.
Quicker menus
Event typing I feel is less laggy
The lock issue doesn't bother me since I use PatternLock.
hey what about mms forwarding. Did that get fixed?
that was fixed with update .132
so the browser is soooo much faster...(oh yeah i fixed my phone)
but question.. im on 1XEV...and with Verizon being the "largest 3G network" has anyone ever had 3G on their storm or any vzw phone?? just curious...
cant really tell a major difference from .132 being that it was also pretty fast.
camera still seems to lag.
you think they'd make the keybaord a bit smarter and have some bigger buttons with all these leaks...
overall..great
there is about a MILLION threads that you will NEVER see 3G on your phone when your on Verizon because 3G is the symbol on a GSM network and 1XEV on a CDMA network. they are both 3rd-generation (3G) technologies!
1XEV I Believe is 3G.
ok, evdo is 3g for verizon so if your phone says 1XEV (which it always should) then you are on a 3g network.
This should help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1XEv
