Sorry for the delay on this one guys but I was incommunicado for the last 48 hours. One of trusted tipsters let me know that Verizon is scheduled to released OS 4.7.0.148 for the Storm in the next few hours. Specifically it will be starting 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.
Many of you have already been sporting 4.7.0.148 for quite awhile but its good to see that Verizon will finally be bringing the Storm OS into 2009… Let us know when you spot the update!

I tried it upgrade online and I was unable to get any upgrade other than the current .75! What’s up is it down already?

Anything different in the OS ?
Thanks !!

All my apps stays intact. Haven’t seen anything new just yet. But it looks snappy

It would help all if anyone posting results would say what OS they had prior to upgrading. The VZW official .75, leaked .148, or what?

From Bell’s official .122

I had some initial issues getting the software as my Storm is on Enterprise, so had to uninstall Desktop Manager, then reinstall as non Enterprise to get it to install the update. So far so good, and I am impressed with how fast my device is now! FINALLY!

I am also on a BES, and was told by our IT group to NOT use the link above. Instead, I downloaded the .exe file from Verizon, and it installed without a hitch.
