Software Update For VZW Storm Owners May 31st? Posted in News & Rumors on 28 May 2009 20:18 by Bla1ze | 
126 comments
With all the talk of the Storm 2 happening in the past few days, it's good to finally see some news for current Storm owners as well. The Crackberry tip line has been busy for the past few days with scattered reports of a new OS to be issued to Verizon customers. From the information in this image, it looks as if tommorrow the software will see technical acceptance, and then be issued to customers starting on May 31st. This of course assuming it actually gets approved by Verizon, since we all know what happened last time. Bookmark/Search this post with:

4.7.0.203???? i'm game. it must be perfect if VZW passe dit
No indication which version? Oops I see it now that I have my glasses on.
4.7.0.203, its right there in the pic
always hope
I have basically gven up on a official release... I am lovin the leaks though :D
.203 is that right? That would be great!
.203?! what?! i have a feeling this is just a leaked beta we've already been exposed to, but rebranded/with a new version number.
then again, like someone else said above me, since its being pushed out on the 31st by vzw, it must either be perfect or theyre desperate for anything. lets hope its the amazing OS we've all been waiting for.
lyricidal, get ready, it sounds like ur gunna be cranking out a few more hybrids once this hits ;)
DUUUUUUDEEEES AND DUUUUUUDDEEEEETSSSSS who are holders of the VZW Blackberry Storm 9530, PRAY TO THE GOD(s) that this passes.
I'll bet we will see this leak saturday night! Who wants in? haha. Since it is my older brother's wedding that day I will have to keep checking on my Blackberry to see whether it has dropped or not. Which will be a bummer :( haha jk.
the release # for .148 is .203, so I would guess it is .148 we have been testing for the past week +. But then again I would not mind being wrong on this one.
How do you know the release number for .148 is .203?
n/t
I think it's release version .203, but it's the 4.7.0.148 OS.
.203 is the package version for application version .148 which yes you already have been exposed to.
.203 Package... anyone know what application version that is?
just curious--what makes you all think that it is one in the same??
There are multiple numbers associated with each OS version. Package, build, release. Leaked OS .148 carries the package number .203. Combined with the fact that we've heard reports within the past two weeks that Verizon was in final testing stages of .148, it only makes sense.
TA of the OS should be tomorrow. Hopefully no serious problems pop up.
.148? Oh great. I just hate my phone more and more each day.
You hate it so much, change it and move on.
im happy with .148 but could i get happier?
Can we get a new leak Kevin???
I am not going to hold my breath while I wait.
Is it APRIL 1st Tomorrow? I don't like April Fools jokes at all....
April comes before May? lol
Something tells me Verizon is going to pass this one...I have been running .148 and have had MINIMAL problems. If .148=.203 this update will be perfect.
*fingers still crossed though*
Even though .148 is release 203 it does state 4.7.0.203 as to 4.7.0.148...so could be a new one? just my guess
But again, the picture reads: "Commercial package: 4.7.0.203". .203 is the PACKAGE number for release .148.
Someone in the OS discussion just posted the screenshots that basically show that 203 is Version 148. I brought up my DM and now see that also.
If you are already running 148 or lyrical's 148 hybrid there is nothing to see here.. if your company has been keeping you down with .75... you will be a happy camper.
With me having it since it leaked here i have come across 3 or 4 bugs ,one major one is if your typing a messege and then hold down phone button to go to keypad it, when you type it types letters insted of numbers, you then have to restart the dial app ( big hassel lol ) in order to get it to work again .
I only had my storm a few weeks now and like it but it is laking what my curve was like so i hope this makes me happier lol
here comes a ton of stupid comments
I hate to bitch, but, is anyone else sick of these "projected" dates and RIM not following through!?!? FB 1.6 was "supposed" to be released at 5 PM today...BIG SURPRISE!!
OK, done ranting. Anyone else agree?
RIM and VZW are two different companies. RIM has builds with application version in the .2xx but VZW isn't ready to test those yet. So don't blame RIM for the lack of OS releases.
As far as facebook 1.6 not coming...o well.
im just happy to see a freaken date for once! but yet still wont believe it until i see it.
agreed, thirdstylebb
Clearly It Says In the Loader Files:
9530-v4.7.0.148_P4.0.0.181
So correction rim has already stoppped production of 4.7.0.2XX which they stopped at 4.7.0.220 for the storm and is now working on 5.0.0.XXX and is currently on 5.0.0.126
RIM and Verizon Are Two Different companys and RIM finally decided to leak .203 to and ONLY Verizon for testing..

Hopefully this is going to be a major UPDATE FOR THE STORM VERY EXCITED TO SEE AN OFFICIAL DATE!!!
I agree my platform is 4.0.0.181 for v4.7.0.148 for 9530
Wrong!!!, the package number is .203 not the platform!!!!
the platform is 4.0.0.181 and the package number is 4.7.0.203 and the application os number is 4.7.0.148
So you my friend are wrong!!!!
because I decided to update to .148 tonight!
Rel203 is 4.7.0.148. It CLEARLY says 4.7.0.203. The only time this format is used for all Storm OS's is the build number. 4.0.0.XXX for platform number and 4.7.0.XXX for build number. Don't be stupid people. They are reporting the build to be .203.
Photoshop is a wonderful thing.
Well let's hope everything is fixed.I hope upgrading from .148 doesn't give me us storm users a problem....well what am i saying Verizon still has to pass this o.s.
Great news, hope its true!
Wondering how much tech experience any of these wingers have... It takes FOREVER for any software to be released AT ANY company that is this complex.
The fault lays in Verizon for not following up with customers, at least in an apology, how about 50% off accessories for a month? I'm not a Storm owner, my hubby is, and actually his is fine, but not perfect. That said, I am a professional sales woman and amazed that Verizon hasn't come up with any tactic to try to at least communicate or pacify anyone with anyone so far!
Then you would know you never admit that there's a problem with your product unless it explodes or the govt. makes you recall it.
What strikes me as odd is when we purchased his phone THREE months ago, the rep told him that the new OS was coming out by the end of February... then after that everytime he asked it was "Oh any day now..."
So did VZW leave their reps hanging too?
Seems strange why they would have given 1 release date for the original update, giving their reps full blessing to acknowledge the issue, and not give any updates since?
The rep is most likely just telling you whatever he thinks he needs to to sell the phone.
C'mon VZW, You can do it. Gave us something to enjoy.
Name 4.7.0.203 Version 4.7.0.148 This is how it reads on my bb manager after loading a leaked OS There is an issue when locking the phone.
