Default Has anybody successfully updated their Verizon Storm OS OTA?

I've been looking through forums and searching google for the last 2 hours and can't find any answers.

I have a Verizon Blackberry Storm running .75 and want to get the OS upgrade. The only PC I have is my work laptop and I cannot download software on to that so I can't run desktop manager. My personal computer is a Mac so I can't do it that way.

When I go to update the OS OTA it say's "no upgrades available".

Has anybody been able to update their OS OTA yet? Does anybody know when that option will be available? Any tips?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Lot of people have updated. I don't know why you can't find the update because it is there. I have downloaded ota thru the phone as well as downloaded the .exe file from BlackBerry® Software Updates. I would do a battery pull and try again. Good luck.

I don't think the OTA has been pushed out to all devices yet. I don't have mine either.

I plugged my phone into the laptop, launched Blackberry Desktop and it found the update instantly and installed it. I never downloaded any software it just started installing directly. Works better than ever. Browser is super fast.

I heard you have to be on .75 to get it, but I haven't confirmed that yet. I looked last night for it and it wasn't there, but I was on .113.
So I went ahead and downloaded the leaked .148 on here. Have had a few issues but they seem to be settling down.

I did it OTA and it took me 2 hours. But make sure you keep it plugged into a outlet. The downloading process will drain the **** out the battery.

Yes. But I am having problems with it. Verizon can't help yet because it is so new. I will have to wait and see. Browser is faster. Still lags between phone and "pda" mode..I personally think this storm (my 3rd) has some [b][/b][b][/b][b][/b][b][/b]ty hardware. My first storm ran much better on .75 than the third one did. I may see if I can get them to give me a new one.

I don't think a battery pull is the answer. I've been trying since last night and no go...

I updated OTA around six am. The update was successful. Now in the afternoon I did a battery pull I'm getting this message
Uncaught Exception:
Java.lag.nullPointerExeption

And my Sms/Mms icon has disappeared on my home screen .

Please help!

I did go into options and separated email and sms/mms inboxes as was suggested when I did a search on this topic.

Thanks to all.
