BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.607 for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm2 has been officially released. Some Storm2 users have reported that the update has been pushed OTA to their devices. (Note: Wireless update works only with officially released BlackBerry OS versions)
You can also download OS 5.0.0.607 from the Verizon BlackBerry Updates page for use with BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
Anyone trade in the old Storm2 for the green labeled Strom2 replacement stock? I did, and what a nice improvement. Screen is easier to deal with, not as stressful on the fingers. Too bad I’ll be selling mine on eBay, brand new and all…
@ bluehorseshoe – wth is green labeled storm 2 and what’s the difference?
Everyone else…is there a list of fixes with this update?
They replaced/added the silicone on each of the corners. For me personally, it’s more responsive and easier on the thumbs.
Why are you selling it then? For how much? How did you get it? Just go to verizon and ask for the newer green one?
Selling it because I have too many phones w/VZW and will use the N1 once it comes out. Got it directly from VZW. Actually upgrading the OS now as I type. As for price, whatever market is showing.
I´ve updated and everything is ok, except for the Shazam (Music Identifier) that refuses to run, in despite of uninstall and reinstall.
Anyone have the same problem?
Updated to this version pn my Storm 2 – but now having a problem where the keyboard will not show in a BBM group chat. Anyone else having this problem?
Stupid update screwed up my phone. I got the 507 on my screen. Was able to reload the previous version 5.0.0.320. but i lost all my apps. I should have waited couple of weeks like i always do.
how did you re-load the previous version? i don’t have many apps that i’m worried about… i want the old OS and BBM back!!
I too am having trouble with the BBM group chat and keyboard.
Updated again. now everything works fine. no issue at all.
The update is not as stable as the previous version. I’m getting the occasional random reboot. Ugh…RIM OS sucks.
@Brixton. What did you “update again”. My keyboard won’t show in BBM group chat, any tips?
@ sleepy321. I use a mac. when i upgraded to 5.0.0.620 i did it by wireless update. when i connected the phone to my mac pro it told me to downgrade. The weirdest thing is it wanted me to downgrade to the 5.0.0.620 that was showing up on my laptop. it labeled it as recommended os. so i thought maybe there was a newer one or RIM fixed the problem so i did it. it works fine for now. i havent tested everything yet. so far so good.
@sleepy321. By the way, i meant version 5.0.0.607
I am having the same issue with my keyboard in the BBM group chat. WTF!!! What’s crazy is that I informed Verizon of this issue and no one seems to have a solution, other than downgrading to the original OS.
Yeah, I had the same problem where the keyboard wouldn’t open. Just open your BBM chat fromt he BBM icon not from your messages/inbox. This is a bug but it will work if you open the chat the way I mentioned.
So, create a separate icon for the group on my home page?
i have the same problem, which seems to be intermittent today so maybe it’s improving. BUT the new bbm doesn’t show accurate statuses for my contacts, and my calendar doesnt sync from my mac…. i would LOVE to downgrade back to the old OS or atleast old bbm… anyone know how???
To downgrade back to the original OS for the BB storm2, you would have to go into the BlackBerry Desktop Software on your computer (with your phone plugged into the computer w/ the USB), and select Upgrade software. There you will have the option to downgrade to the original operating system. That is what I ended up doing.
