Verizon and RIM to Release BlackBerry Storm Update on Sunday

Verizon and RIM will be releasing a new firmware update for the BlackBerry Storm Sunday afternoon which is expected to fix a myriad of longstanding issues that have yet to be addressed since its lone update in December 2008.

Both companies had previously tested three internal updates to the Storm that were leaked during the year, with varying results before being pulled from final release each time.

BlackBerry OS version 4.7.0.148 will be released starting at 4PM EST on BlackBerry.com/update and will also be pushed over-the-air by Verizon beginning at 10PM EST the same day. Neither Verizon or RIM elaborated on the specific changes the update will feature.

    I hope that this new update do not cause problems with the applications I downloaded from the blackberry app store,or lose them because trying too compete with yhe already installed apps of the iphone along with their app store is kindda hard.I’am sure many of blackberry storm ownners will agree.
