Unseen OS?!?! - Page 2

I was at a Verizon Store picking up a new case for my Storm and while browsing the store I decided to check out one of the Storms on display.

Let me just say that I was blown away... The OS was fast, touchscreen and accelerometer were very responsive...basically it worked just like in that video.

I was so convinced it was running a new OS and decided to check the version and guess what!?....

It was frickin build 4.7.0.61!!!

I even took this picture because I was so shocked!

.61... That wasn't even released was it?

apparently when the storm was first shipped from rim to vzw, it was shipped with OS 4.7.0.82 . Verizon said it had alot of issues, and downgraded to .65 .

read the article here: BlackBerry Storm OS downgraded at the last minute?

When I received my phone from VZW last week, it has .75. I now have .122 on it and it is as fast as the one in the vid (with exception of the keyboard sliding up - mine more like pops up instead of slides up).

LOOK AT THAT!!!! It has a tab to next entry field button on the keyboard!!! I want one of those! Where is it on the newer OS RIM????

My accelerometer is faster than in the vid. Like others, apart from the sliding keyboard mine is as good or better.

Asid from the keyboard sliding up that is pretty much how smooth my storm works and i'm running .75

Yep, mine's about that fast.

+1.

aside from the keyboard, that behaves exactly like mine has since crackman's .114v3

My Curve is actually faster.

And the keyboard takes 0 seconds to appear.

The storm came with .61 on them when they first got to the store. They were supposed yo be updated the morning if the release to .65. Not all of them were though. I was there for the release. I was instructed to update the device myself.

When i bought my BB storm the rep told me that the original release was very smooth, but had to be rolled back because of security flaws. I'm not sure if he was just yanking my chain or not, but it could explain something about why the storm in the commercials is so much faster than anything we have seen so far.
