I'll say this for RIM. If your Storm isn't the way you want it just yet it will be soon. 😁

Heres a stuped question. Why didnt they put that upgrade (.85) on the cd they sent with the phone?? Seems like it would be so much easier that way. Can I take my phone to a verizon store and have them do this up grade to the .85?? Jo
The way I understand it, The phone manufacturer (RIM) constantly is releasing operating system updates to the various phone carriers around the world that carry the Storm. The carriers then pick the ones they like and if its up to their standards or they think a version is ready, they will approve it and get that version out to customers.
In a nutshell, .85 has been released by RIM to Verizon but it hasn't been officially approved by Verizon. Someone working ...

anyone frusterated at .75 should try it, however is u think .75 is ok then wait for the official update.
i first went to .83, then back to .75, but i think im gonna stay with .85 it seems the best so far.
thanks for the help/info guys its much appreciated 🙂
I can wait. My phone is running well enough for now.
.85 is more like an updated .83 with fewer bugs that .83 created. (I had some bedside mode and charging issues)
Most seem to think it's stable enough to be officially released from VZW as the next update.
Crackberry.com site creater Kevin said that at a minimum .85 should have been the initial OS released with the Storm
I wouldn't doubt at the speed they are working on updates that 4.7.1 is around the corner in January 😁
my phone goes about 6 hours, and thats on a full charge with gps OFF. (i read somewhere, i think on here, that the gps off helps, and it does).
anyone else upgrade to .85 and notice battery life worse then on .75?
Battery life is always an issue w/ Verizon b/c of CDMA. I go through a day @ full charge (if I tether for an hour+ I have to charge it mid day). I have my bluetooth (b/c of my truck) and GPS on all day. Also the phone always seems hot. I burn up about 4000-5000 minutes a month.
with .85, for example, i took it off the charger and 9 am, and now at 238 pm it has 1 bar and is on the charger. i have my bt on and connected to blueant v1, and the gps is on, and my signal is between 3-4 bars.
maybe i should go back to .75 and see if the bat is better.
