I just got off the phone with my corporate Verizon representative and was offiicially informed that we will not be receiving the next update to the Storm until December 8th and my rep could not verify what version would be released at that time.
I hope this helps everyone so no one sits around and waits for the next week
I'm about 99.99% confident that we would know a definate date prior to a typical verizon rep. Not to say I doubt you, I'm just going off of past history.
It's time for the next edition of the release date lottery! First it was the Bold's release, then each carrier's release of 4.5, the Storm's announcement, the Storm's release date, the Storm's shipping date, and now the next 4.7 OS version release date!
I saw 2 interesting VZW documents today... One was dated the 21st and stated that a "enhancement release" would be coming out in "Early December". The second document was dated yesterday (the 23rd) and listed many of the issues that are occuring and stated that a planning meeting was to take place today (the 24th) to decide how they were going to address them.

GRAND! They're just planning for how to deal with the problems? Planning - Organizing - Setting Milestones - Actually Developing Solutions - Testing - Giving to Verizon - Testing - Loading onto our Storms.
I heard its coming out tomorrow or thursday or friday or sometime the next week or before christmas but maybe right after the new year and in time for summer. so its all good!
Oh well, I guess we will have to live with a little laggy accelerometer for a while. Other than that though, there aren't too many things that are driving me nuts
how about everybody just wait till its actually released and stop speculating? By the way. My storm has no problems whatsoever. Nothing is slow about it, nothing shuts down, i love it. Not one single problem or complaint
Well I was told when its really coming out... All I can say because I was sworn to secrecy by the "Can you hear my now" guy... It will be out on a day that ends in 'Y' lol.

Hm... pretty biased post. Other people are having problems! You're fairy dream world may be great to you, but everyone else on these boards doesn't give a **** if your Storm works great. Those who are having problems want the issues fixed, so why don't you stop checking the BLACKBERRY STORM HELP AND DISCUSSION Forum and you'll be oblivious to any complaints.
well a friend of a cousin of of my uncle told me he heard from a corp rep who heard from his manager that a update will be out december 7th. lol.. seriously are we going through this game again?
Looks like I made a halfway decent decision to spend my money on Christmas presents this year vs getting a Storm as soon as RIM shoveled them out of the oven...
I can wait till Jan/Feb, believe me. Hopefully by then enough of the bugs/glitches/annoyances will have been fixed, so I can actually test whether or not I'd like one using a model that's a bit more polished.
Hats-off to you early adopters though.
Is it possible that VZW and RIM realize how incredibly pissed its customers are, so they quote a date (lets say the 8th for conversation's sake) for the release of the update, and then spring that badboy on the 5th and look like superstars?! Then everyone is thinking "3 days early...fantastic!!"
