As always it seems that a leaked Storm OS comes at least once a week. Kevin from CrackBerry caught OS 4.7.0.99 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. We aren’t too sure what this new OS brings to the table just yet, but keep in mind it has not been officially released by RIM and is not recommended for install unless you know what your doing. Be sure to make an extra backup before proceeding. Anyways keep an eye out for a Storm 9500 coming soon too!

Once you install it be sure to let us know what you think by posting in the comments…

If you know me I’m addicted to two things my BlackBerry and Viigo. Viigo keeps me updated with all my RSS feeds plus weathers, stocks, sports and tons more. Anyways they just sent me an email to let me know they’ve released a new version (Build 3.0.856) for the BlackBerry Storm. Apparently it improves overall stability, performance and usabillity plus adds the new shopping service and the ability to add tweet articles right on your BB.

RIM on Storm: “software glitches… are part of the new reality”

By James on Jan 26, 2009 in BlackBerry, RIM, Storm 9500 Series.

blackberry-storm-sidebysideWhen your spending anywhere from $200 to nearly $600 for a hot new BlackBerry product you would at least hope it would be running fairly well. Well personally I know after buying my Storm nearly two months ago I have had some small software issues and haven’t been that impressed. RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie addressed the issue in an article over at the WSJ. Here’s part of what he had to say:

RIM co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie said the companies made the crucial Black Friday deadline “by the skin of their teeth,” after missing a planned October debut. Mr. Balsillie said such scrambles — and the subsequent software glitches that need to be fixed — are part of the “new reality” of making complex cellphones in large volumes.
