I have Verizon and just upgraded to this .122 version. I HATE IT. I don’t know if it is just me, but the battery has drained super super quick since I updated. The landscape to vertical is faster for switching, but I am considering going to back to .75 to save my batter life. Yesterday I answered the phone ONCE and the battery was dead within 8 hours. No internet use or anything, and it was dead.

Hey guys,

I am trying to update my storm to the newest OS software through the Desktop Manager v.4.7 but it always starts and then stops at “Downloaded Modules 272 of 318″.

Did this happen to others? How can we fix or avoid this? Need help.

Thanks

How do you install v4.7.0.122 on the Storm using a Mac computer ?
Cheers.

@Kev_26
Hey, it works great, it’s very smooth. Feels faster, more responsive. The camera application is quick to open and use. Even the keyboard feels quicker when tapping on it. It’s nicely done. No new features though.

@cptstnkpnts
Hey, no need to downgrade. The Desktop Manager will automatically (should automatically) upgrade your Blackberry when plugged in.

I’ve decided that Verizon just wants their customers to hate them enough to switch to another carrier. LET US UPGRADE!!!! First no 8830 upgrades and now Storm…WTF????

Any one know if you have to downgrade to .75 to be able to install? I am running a leaked .113. I am a Bell subscriber.

Alright, anyone know what’s taking Telus so long?

Smooth and quick install with auto backup/restore. Device running fine, but visible differences are very small (cursor, full keyboard in portrait…) and performance only seems slightly better to me.

@FartMan

This is far from being a rumor. I’m running this OS right now.

You could take a look over here:

Not a rumor. Very real. You can download the java & cdma files from megaupload. The signed installer is not available yet.

Why is Verizon so behind everyone else? This is really out of control!
