well i just went to to the verizon website and manually downloaded the update..to my desktop computer. it says its the .82 update. i know that some people were looking for it. idk if you already have it..if so regard this please.
I did the same thing thinking it was the new update as well, yesterday when picking up my storm, the managers were telling everyone on the line to make sure to upgrade the firmware to improve the touchscreen, Im still looking....
guys be nice haha its just all a bit confusing...wish they made things a bit more clear, especially since im new to the BB and im sure the appeal of the storm will bring in many more newbies
I found it easier to just go to the Verizon website, select the Storm, download the software THEY have posted and now my phone works correctly with all the right icons/options.
yea thats what i did before just today..still at .65 tho
however my phone is working tens times better. just gotta be patient for the next update i suppose
did yours actually update to .82 when you installed it from the VZW website?
I ended up downgrading my platform yesterday as well. Does the platform make a differance? I have left it... seems to be working better.. who knows?
I was messing around with the Device manager last night and it was downloading an update and my Laptop got the blue screen of death and rebooted.. Bricked my phone for about 3 hours intill I got a new os on it. Thanks in advance.
Was this in reference to my post about what my storm says under "About"? It currently says v4.7.0.65 (Platform 4.0.0.82). What version does this mean I have? Is there an update to this version that I can get somehow and if so, how?

you have the most updated software available right now. hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll have something >.65
right now my info screen under "About" in options says the following.....
v4.7.0.65 (Platform 4.0.0.82). What does that mean? This is how mine came right out of the box. Thanks.
v stands for the version of OS. in this case you see you have .65 OS.
this is what so many noobs are fracking up. On Blackberrys the OS and Platform are different. Sooooo many noobs are claiming they have .82!! Stop it!! YOU HAVE .65. Believe me, when an actual update is available, at least 6 veterans will post, including a Blog post by Kevin, and most likely BGR.
I was told by a director at Corporate Verizon that there should be an update on or by November 29th. Said that he has tried the new update and it made the screen more responsive and greatly improves battery life.

That is the most current version. The people running around saying they have .82 are looking at the Platform, not the OS. What you have there is what we all should have until VZW releases the next upgrade.
