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.

The OS exe download is available from Verizon if you want to upgrade with loader.exe versus desktop manager.
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
What is loader.exe? Can I do it OTA? Thanks for any help.
@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.
@ NikkiY Unfortunately for some, this is the way RIM has decided to take it so there is no going back.
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.
