BlackBerry Bold by RIM or iPhone 3G by Apple? Which one is your favorite and which one you should forget? Maybe these videos may help you to choose the right touch-screen phone.
CrackBerry has the new BlackBerry Stormoperating system upgrade available. It has been said that this upgrade will soon be available over the air as well. If you decide to download the software onto your phone, you’re installing it at your own risk as stated by CrackBerry. Luckily this video shows us that the 4.7.0.75 OS can function and effectively run on the Storm.
It has been rumored that a next possible version called OS 4.7.0.76. will be available soon as well. Though I think we should get past the .75 and work out all the bugs/kinks before thinking about yet another upgrade.
Friendly Advice: Please note that if you download the update from a third-party website, it might void all or partial support from Verizon.
