Well, it’s about time! After a few missteps, Verizon has finally gotten their act together and managed to get a much needed software update for the Blackberry Storm through testing. Right now, it’s still unknown what the soon-to-be released 4.7.0.148 software will do for all you patient Storm owners out there, but what we do know is when you can get your mitts on it: you can download it directly from RIM this Sunday, May 31 at 3 PM sharp. For those of you who are a little less motivated, it’ll be available as an OTA update starting at 10 PM that same night.
For all the good it’s bound to do, it’s puzzling that no one has let slip what this will fix. Storm owners, what do you want to see taken care of before you ditch your trusty handset for a Storm 2?
EDIT: Not minutes after this was posted, one of BGR’s trusted ninjas came through with the change log. Take a look after the jump!
Oh Finally!! That wud be a great help for Storm Users.
i think they went very wrong with the storm to begin with-a phone with the potential to smash the iphone was ruined by the clicking screen as there’s only so fast you can type on it
my typing speed on the bold has become nearly unnatural, should they not have a way of speeding up text imput? like maybe a way of turning off the need to click the screen when using the keyboard? also please please please RIM get rid of the pearl keyboard its terrible

Thanks for starting this thread and pointing the unavailability of the features of Storm.
@ BGR’s trusted ninja
Thanks for being proactive by providing the change log after Chris’s ping.
Does anyone know how to get this update?
you can download it at:

Hi,
I use I mac and the site only supports pc (at least that I could tell) How do I get this upgrade?
Thanks!
You can go to the site and download a desktop manager for Macs. Then you can upgrade from there 8)
to download it over the air (OTA) got to options/advanced options/Wireless Update.
I know some people are having a hard time getting the update. It took my phone a while before I got it and a friend of mine still can not download it.
Oh and another thing.
if you can download it OTA and you get an error message saying you dont have enough memory, than delete any apps you downloaded (facebook, AIM) and then pull the battery out and reset. There is only a small amount of space for the apps and it is separate from your 1gb of onboard memory. The download is 22mb and then needs more space to do its unziping and installing.
Does anyone have more trouble now after the upgrade than before?
I am a new Storm user, but it seems much slower now.
