Sent you pm. Found it for $199 and the company sends a additional $20 cash back to you when you activate through Verizon. That makes it $179 which makes me wish I researched a little more before I signed up..

Update on the Storm software update!!

Quote:
WTF?! Bell Releases OS 4.7.0.76 for the BlackBerry Storm! Plus Verizon Storm Update Coming Tomorrow + Details

More Details: If things go as we hear they should, the OTA Wireless Update will be available at 12 noon (we assume EST) on Friday and should be available for download by 6pm from http://www.vzam.net/blackberry/

Verizon Update Details: Just in, some "official sounding" verbage in regards to tomorrow's release of 4.7.0.75 and what it addresses.

The following issues have been addressed:

* Device may reset intermittently while sitting idle or when using multimedia applications
* User may experience one-way audio (incoming audio is muted) when using voice activated dialing
* When listening to music on low volume while wearing wired headphones, the volume of the music will increase to the highest level when the user receives an incoming call
* Improvements in display performance in terms of switching between landscape and portrait modes and keys displaying correctly
* Improvements in performance for multimedia capabilities such as video, music and MMS
* Improvements in bluetooth audio performance in certain scenarios

*The software update will be available via the desktop manager, web SL and OTA*

* Update: Now that Bell has released the Storm OS at version .76, are you wondering when Verizon will officially release their BlackBerry Storm update? If the image above is to believed (just sent in from a trusted source), then December 5th is the day! *

Now this is weird... they're not even selling the device yet, but you can now download OS 4.7.0.76 for the Bell BlackBerry Storm 9530.

O yeah, for those having trouble clicking on the "A or Q" letter on the keyboard, just shim like a piece of paper folded 4 times under the battery...it'll help make it easier to click

Guys!! There is a new official OS out and several unofficial OS'es out and it makes a world of difference. Slowness is pretty much gone and it is light years better. I am a member of Crackberry.com and get my OS info from there. I am currently running .76 and am VERY happy with it.
Go to this thread for the offical ones. US phone is the 9530 not 9500. Get the "Bell Mobility" 4.7.0.76 version. I trust everyone has BB Device Manager installed. Back up your phone before installing new OS. This will save all contacts, configurations, etc.

I will try to check back here more often. Please PM me if there are outstanding questions and I have not check in.
Hope this helps everyone's Storm experience.
