I can't believe nobody has looked here before but if you go to RIM's blackberry website and go to support and then downloads and tell them you're Vodafone UK and look for any softward updates for the Storm, you get the following information:
Package Version: 4.7.0.86
Consisting of:
Applications: 4.7.0.65
Software Platform: 4.0.0.76
File name: 9500_omadrmEFIGS_Dutch_PBr4.7.0_rel86_PL4.0.0.76_A 4.7.0.65_Vodafone_UK.exe
File size: 103.04MB
Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.
It seems that all we've been hearing about versions .65 and .76 and .86 are all correct, they just happen to all be wrapped up in one package depending on if you're looking at Package Version or Applications version of the Software Platform. Have fun tomorrow with your not so updated buggy Verizon Storms!
FWIW - I spoke with a RIM rep today and played with several BB Storms that were running .65 and it wasn't so bad as others have reported. I was told that .92 should be released late tonight or sometime tomorrow.
yeah i did join to post that cuz its been annoying watching people tell their stories about how some random dude at circuit city said it'd be .76 and everyone flock to believe them and hang on their every word
For what it's worth, I just got back from the Verizon store, where the rep told me they haven't gotten their shipment of "a handful" that they'll be selling tomorrow yet b/c the phones are being flashed with the latest OS update, 150,000 phones per day, and that's the reason for the limited number of phones throughout the stores around the country....
If a new s/w version comes out, just do an OTA update. I did one on a Storm today and it was pretty cool. I took about an hour total to download the update, backup the data, run the update, restore the data, and be done. Beats pulling out a Windoze machine for us Mac users.
