Video: OS 4.7.0.75 on the Verizon BlackBerry Storm Verizon BlackBerry Storm 9530 Running OS 4.7.0.75 from CrackBerry on Vimeo. OS 4.7.0.75 for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm is a solid jump forward from version 4.7.0.65 which shipped on the device. A big gripe with .65 was lag - especially in regards to the accelerometer changing the display's orientation. Above is a quick video which shows a much smoother running BlackBery Storm. The word in the forums is that Verizon should officially release this update soon to the masses (hopefully tomorrow/Monday), so if you prefer to wait for an official release then do so. Otherwise, click here for more details. Discuss this video in the forums >> Bookmark/Search this post with:

thats an awesome vid, i was playing with a storm in a verizon store and it was laggy when i try to tilt it side way and back
wow...looks great and much smoother. I think im going to wait til the update goes live so i dont risk messing anything up even though it seems fairly easy. Is there any benefit to doing it now by myself instead of waiting a couple days til they verizon officially releases it? Other then having it run smoother a few days earlier?
Nice vid Kevin. The update really improves the functionality. It should've launched with this OS.
Thanks CX. Short and sweet and gets the point across. Too bad my sniffling gets in there a bit. Trying to drink it away with some tea mixed with lemon juice and spiced rum. Figure that's GOTTA do the trick :)
Yeah, too bad the device didn't launch with this OS. Definitely makes for a better Storm experience overall.
kev--if you werent going to talk, then you should have set it to music! lol.
haha. thought about it, but wanted the "clicks" to be audible. :)
hey every one am new to thise site and the blackberry also.just wanted to sae hello and to say that thise sire ROCKS BABY YEA.keep up the good work.
i have a quation?
how do u get the crackberry app on my blackberry storm will some one helpp me pleas..
I like the clapping at the end ;-).
Please vodafone do the same! please give us that .75!
Definitely like the desk slap.
I bet the ppl who got rid of their storms are pissed..
Yep. It pays to be patient. Now they will have to wait till Dec 15thish hahahahaha!
Well I guess when your table has been bad it needs a spanking huh kev? lol
???
it's only to get better ppl - RIM never stops releasing os updates for as long as I remember-
I think the lack of words let's the device speak for him. Damn Kev, Verizon should pay you for this. lol ;)
Love the 1-2 at the end. Really shows that you are satisfied with the update haha. Love the video.
You think since the update might be announced tomorrow and go live the phones can be shipped out earlier?
Well, as much as I dread saying it, I still noticed a bit of lag in the accelerometer. I was playing with my friends LG Dare yesterday and that accelerometer was SMOOTH and CONSISTENT. I really hope RIM can get the one on the Storm running like that !!
BG is claiming to have a .76 version that he cannot release, but tested all day yesterday. He also said the accelerometer was 25% faster than .75 version, and a few others fixes. So that's a good sign that RIM is making huge progress in dialing everything in. We might as well just wait for official released version...being that it doesn't seem like that will be too far away.
i played with the iphone and there was longer lag than that.. give it up
@ Strhessed, If you want to be a nit-pick, then you could say there was a little bit of lag. But seriously come on. Theres next to no lag on that video in regards to the accelerometer. IMHO, it's fine.
CX, I was comparing the accelerometer to the one in the Dare. I assume you have at least played with one ? You have to admit, there's a big difference. Since the Storm squashes the Dare, I am just hoping RIM can eventually tighten it up to be on par with the one on the Dare. No need to get defensive.
for that matter, the camera on the dare beats the hell out of the storm camera too !!! they really need to fix a lot of things on the storm.
I am going to have to agree with Crucial on this.
I noticed that he took his finger and ran it from side to side, and the buttons color folowed it..How do you that, I have yet to be able to get that to happen, even with the update. is there a setting that needs to be set for that?
I have .75 loaded and on the main screen the blue light doesn't follow my finger. Not sure what's wrong.
While I'm happy to see this software update, I'm still uneasy about this phone due to the screen clicking issue some have reported (i.e., having to jam a piece of paper behind the battery to improve clicking). No amount of software can fix that, am I correct?
There is near to no lag , its works great IMO , especially if there is another update mid december then hell, its going to be good to go
Yeah, what sooks said.

Nope but you could jst... send it back lol
I had mine ordered the Monday after the launch by my bueiness rep and just got confirmation today that my shipment (5 storms!) left Ontario yesterday. Due for arrival Tuesday. Hopefully with the new build!
i ordered on the 21st at 10:30am and still no storm. Verizon is pissing me off big time
same here..i order mine around 10.15 on the 21st ..and i still haven't gotten it..i called them like 20 times last week, plan on doing the same today....i am tired of reading all the reviews and watching the videos ...and now with this firmware ...i can't wait to just have it already!!!!!!!
just wanted to say thanks for all the great info I've been getting off of this site. I'm new to the blackberry world and you've made my transition to it very smooth. Wanted an Iphone, but I've been with Verizon for 3 years and didn't want to switch carriers. New OS is smooth and My scrolling is like it is in the video since I consolidated my folders. Liking it a lot now. ? tough. Is not having Wi-Fi really a big deal or not?
Same exact thing with me haha. I am glad I never left verizon. BBS ROCKS
Only you can decide if the lack of Wi-Fi is a big deal, but I can say this...we have had an iPhone for about 5 months and have NEVER used the Wi-Fi. What we've found is that if we're anywhere we can't get 3G then we can't get Wi-Fi either. And if we do have access to free/nsecured Wi-Fi it's almost always unreliable. For example, I use the Wi-Fi from the coffee shop next to us for my computer sometimes, but it only works about 40% of the time. Also there's the whole security issue with using unsecured Wi-Fi networks. Finally, the 3G is plenty fast for what we're doing on the phones, especially using the Opera Mini browser. So, from an iPhone and Storm household I would say it's a non issue.
That said, the iPhone would allow you to connect to the internet if you didn't want to spend the $30/month for data services. You'd still be at the mercy of free and reliable Wi-Fi, but you can't complain too much about what is free, right?
That is so much better. I ordered the phone from verizon and when I played with it at the store, it lagged so much! this is such a change that I am not worried for this phone anymore! CANT WAIT!
I updated, but i can't do that cool highlight drag through the home screen options. Can somewhere share the best Tap Interval, Hover Period and Swipe Sensitivity settings.
Is anyone else not able to do that???
edit...nevermind, i will take this to the forum.
basically you can only have 16 icons showing on the app screen (you have to be able to see all icons, aka no scrolling needed to view hidden icons) so just hide icons until you do not need to scroll, then voila u get the sick light effect.
Ordered my 2 STORMS on the 21st at about 7pm. FedEx says they will be here tomorrow no later than 3pm....any chance they will have the updated software???
wait...how would fedex know whether your getting it tom. or not...did you call verizon before for a tracking number already? I ordered mine at around 10am on the 21st, and i still havn't gotten a tracking number or anything....
How are you doing that touch and slide around the icons from the homescreen. When I do that it doesn't jump between highlighted items.
I notice the biggest difference when I get a phone call..
Before the update, I would get a call and due to the accelerometer being so slow it would cause the phone not to properly answer when I would hit the answer button on the screen and/or the green "talk" button..but now since the update, it seems to react alot quicker/better now..
Also I see a few people asking how he was scrolling thru the buttons like that and I am standing in that same question line..
How was he doing that..?
I tried it time and time again with no results..
I want to know how he is doing the menu swipe thing also.
It's not an option that I can find.
No, I don't know the answer...I just finally figured out what you guys were talking about. Yeah I'm slow!
Some talking during the demo would have been nice.
over at BGR he says he has 4.7.0.76(4.0.0.96), have u tested this out Kevin?
i dunno, my accelermeter was exactly that fast with .65. I am installng anyways, i am hoping my typing gets better, the only thing i hate is typing.

Don't know if anybody else did but during that whole video i was comparing my storm to the one Kevin has and mine did a pretty good of keeping up with it. Not saying that it couldn't be faster cause i sure wish it was. It seems to lag when it wants to, or after i close out of some other application. I think i'll wait for a official OS release or download the .76 OS that BG was talking about on his site.
