OS 5.0 on the BlackBerry Storm

Posted by Joe on October 26, 2009 | 6 comments | Filed under : BlackBerry Multimedia

As we mentioned earlier this morning, RIM is starting to roll out BlackBerry OS 5.0. If you have a BlackBerry Storm on Verizon, you can plug your device into Desktop Manager, on either the PC or the Mac, and it will prompt you to upgrade. Via Mobile Crunch, here’s a video of what you can expect from the upgrade.

It seems to have increased my phones performance, but I really hate the new messaging format. It is terrible. I would much rather have the old SMS messaging system back.

@ NikkiY Unfortunately for some, this is the way RIM has decided to take it so there is no going back.

@Robert – loader.exe is a component of the Desktop Manager software. Some people have reported that the have the option to wireless upgrade from their device but I can not confirm that as I have no storm personally.

What is loader.exe? Can I do it OTA? Thanks for any help.

I really hate the new version of SMS. It’s like a chat like box.

Is there any way to change it back to the old one?

Thank you

The OS exe download is available from Verizon if you want to upgrade with loader.exe versus desktop manager.
