Not in surprisingly shocking fashion, we just received word today from a reliable informant that Verizon, which did have some BlackBerry 6 builds in testing, has since stopped and will probably wait until either a Storm2 reboot and/or a Storm3 is revealed.  Reasoning?  You can bet the 256MB of RAM is one of them, as well as other factors.  As said its not a shocker, but its sad for Storm2 users that were hoping to get some OS6 goodness.  Lets hope this bit of info is wrong for those of you sticking it out with your Storm2′s.

UPDATE: For those that have emailed asking, we agree.  We hope this is not true.  Lets hope the testing stopped for other reasons, such as waiting on a specific build.  For now, this is the info that we have though.

For those of you out there on the Interweb’s that still rock a BlackBerry, things have been sorta “dry” when it comes to trying out new OS builds.  From the looks of it, even the latest official release’s from carriers sport only under the hood bug fixes (or create new ones at times).  Why is this?  Is RIM really getting ready for OS6?  What about business users that dont want or need anything to flashy?  Read on for some more thoughts… (more…)

Wow what a leak for the 9550 as OS 5.0.0.607 has been found in the wild. Thanks to Crackberry.com for posting the info about the leak.

Download OS 5.0.0.607 for the Blackberry Storm 9550!

As with any leaked OS install with caution as this software is not supported by any carrier.

As I had posted a few days ago, VZ has been testing some new OS builds for the Storm/Storm2, as well as the Tour.  Thanks to my “informant” I know that VZ has failed OS builds in the .430 to 450 range.  From what I am told, they are now well into .460 in testing, and could very well approve a build in the .490 to .500 range.  As I get more info I will pass it on.
