[Kaus]

the v-cast software was updated recently. did you get the new version?

and leaked OS doesn't void warantee, its just unsupported. those techs are n00bs.

trust patches, for he is wise...

And yet you don't work for Vzw

Yet u are correct it is unsupported which voids the warranty in that we won't service storms with leaked os's till the user downgrades assuming they still can. Semantics.. Go figure

I'm glad for the peeps who now have an official OS whether they can't load a leak or don't want to or whatever.

But i gotta be honest here, and sorry to go off topic, but i just read thru all 16 pages of this and i am amazed at how many times the same **** was asked and answered over and over. And over. Does anybody read before they ask questions?? All of my questions were answered on the first couple of pages. AND THIS IS PAGE 16!!

This is why i mostly just hang out in the Rants/Raves and Owners lounge. For the love of sweet God in heaven people...READ!

K I'm done now.

EDIT...it was page 16 when i started typing

Supported vs. warranty are two different things. Warranty is for physical defects. Even if I have a leaked os, if the phone is physically broken due to poor workmanship, they will replace it.

If I call in to tech support and ask about software issues and I'm on a leaked os, they have no obligation to help me. But then on the same call if I say the screen doesn't click in the corners, they will service under warranty.

I have never seen a post about denied a warranty claim due to a leaked os.

Verizon Wireless to Offer 4.7.0.148 Firmware for BlackBerry Storm
Today, 12:36 PM by Eric M. Zeman updated Today, 2:05 PM

Today Verizon Wireless said that it will be offering the 4.7.0.148 firmware build for the BlackBerry Storm on Sunday, May 31. Interested users can download it directly from Research In Motion starting at 3PM EST on May 31, or wait for the over-the-air download, which will be pushed out starting at 10 PM EST Sunday evening. This is the first official update from Verizon Wireless for the BlackBerry Storm since December 2008, when it pushed out 4.7.0.76. Verizon didn't specify what the firmware update will fix or alter on the Storm.

Fact checking works wonders

Sorry to those I have offended I did not choose the correct word...I did not mean WAIST i meant SPEND
Sorry Again

[Ishbar]

So wait, I just downloaded .148 leak for nothing?
...lol

[cgc2]

Someone posted congrats to the patient ones....i say, suckers you could have had a better OS sooner if you had installed a leak or hybrid.
Big deal guys..this .148 isnt going to be any different than what has been leaked, and improved upon as a Hybrid.
So, enjoy your improved OS....the rest of us will are already beyond .148

I wouldn't say suckers c'mon. Some of us can't due to BES & IT Policiy, so for us patient ones, let us enjoy it!

[engsoccerfan]

Just a question for the future: I'm currently running Lyric .148/5.0 hybrid and I was wondering that if 5.0 comes out for the Storm (in a few months or so), could I downgrade to an official OS and then upgrade to 5.0?

Ok...I stand corrected for only issues related to BES and IT Policy (forgot about that as I too have a work BB and am limited in what I can do).

Everyone/anyone else...statement sticks !!
