It took them long enough but Verizon finally launched an official OS update for their BlackBerry Storm. After testing out several OS versions it seems that Verizon finally feels 4.7.0.148 will have to do. Anyone with a Verizon branded Storm can download this much needed OS update by connecting their BlackBerry into Desktop Manager and clicking the Application Loader or on BlackBerry.com/update. As of now the OS is not listed on Verizon’s BlackBerry software page but it should be soon, so keep an eye on it.

RIM CEO says SurePress is here to stay, No comment on Storm 2.

rim-d7-006

Interesting news developed today during an interview at D7, when RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis was asked about the “rumors” on the internet that the next gen Storm will not click, he said “We don’t comment on rumors. But SurePress is here to stay”. This is interesting news considering the recently leaked photos of the Storm 2 show a non-clicking display. Could this mean that RIM will introduce several new Storm models this year? Possibly one with SurePress (clicking) and one with TruePress (non-clicking)? I guess we will have to sit back and see…

What do you think? Will RIM introduce a SurePress and TruePress model?
