Lame. Personally .148 has been the worst OS I've tried since .75

.148 has been good to me! Not one problem out of it.

I'm going to check DM right now.....unfortunately I don't have my cable.....IIRC-I can't even check for updates without the phone being connected right?

[Stang68]

Ok no one really answered this clearly: If I downgrade to .75 on Sunday, do I have to wait to get a poke to be able to OTA upgrade, or can I just click on the option in the advanced menus at, say, 10pm?

[JohnBeresfordTipton]

My nos end in 8 and 9 so I understand that I will not get a "poke" until June 8 or 9 +/-. Do I correctly assume that the Poke is completely passive and that I don't have to do anything to to get it? If I want the update sooner is there a simple way to get it OTA or is downloading thru DM the only option? Sorry to be dense about this but I am both a BB newbie and a technologically addled old fart, so please explain at approx the 3d grade reading level. Thanks

Once it is available you can get it. But if you didn't upgrade and your number is line you will get a poke. a poke is going to those that have 75 and have yet to upgrade to 148 starting with the number ending in 0 and going up over 11 days

[arsenal007]

if we take our phone to the verizon store will they upgrade it for us there?

Rim Blackberry 9530 STORM Rev. (4.7.0.148) has been approved.

Customers NOT on the original approved 4.7.0.75 rev will NOT receive the Poke.(example any non approved software) They may download manually via Web SL( Directly from BB website) starting Sunday May 31 at 10 pm or Desktop manager from VZW.com starting June 3rd.
Availability sched is as follows:
This will be an 11 day process as we have 1.2 million customers on BIS and 500,000 customers on BES.(BES administrators will receive Poke on Sunday 5/31 @10 p.m.Customers on BES will need to check with their IT as to when they will receive Poke)
The Poke will start on Sunday 5/31 at 10 p.m. eastern time.
MTN's ending in 0 will start the process and move up in numbers over the 11 days.
This rev will take 19 to 24 minutes to complete depending on options selected, however it can take up to 2 hours depending on service area.

Yeah, but I dont have to wait for the poke to do OTA, correct?

[Rags1214]

most likely they would hit wireless upgrade option.

[5speedz34]

DM didn't find anything for me.

[Rags1214]

no you don't have to wait for the poke

the poke is a -- hey get with it and do a upgrade reminder

[Stang68]

no, the poke is a -- hey get with it and do a upgrade reminder

Cool cool, thanks, dude.

Mine either

[jmk12]

If I'm running the leaked version of .148, is it recommended to downgrade to .75 and then go back up to .148 using the official.. or does it really not matter??

[bennyj]

Mine either

I'm running .148, plugged into DM and it Updated my Blackberry core applications, but that was all.

[chuleris]

if you're not on the official .75 you wont be able to do the upgrade wirelessly.

[marcyalisa]

I did the same thing and it worked just fine for me too. I suggest connecting to your DM and see what you get. Hopefully you get lucky too and get the update today.

Happy Friday. Make the best of it.

I just plugged my storm in and the DM said there was update. So I did, and guess what, it was .148. I thought this was getting pushed out on Sunday, not today. Guess I got a present early.

Same here. Nada!

[chuleris]

no, they'll explain to you how to do it online/with desktop software.

[crackalackberry]

Yes you will, just won't get the poke

if you're not on the official .75 you wont be able to do the upgrade wirelessly.

Nope, they are the same thing. I, on the other hand, AM going to downgrade to .75 then OTA to .148 because something is wrong with the lock on my .148. Must have been a botched install.

[Moosecakes]

Hm sweet I guess.. Already on a hybrid with .148 I guess its good news for those who won't use leaks. So could this potentially push a 5.0 release farther away?

To those who are seeing updates: are you sure you're not seeing DM updates? That is, updates to the DM software, not the phone software.

[NewAge]

Hopefully on Monday .15x leaks!!
