The OS upgrades keep rolling and rolling for the BlackBerry Storm. The problem is, any upgrade after .75 for Verizon's 9530 is a leaked, unofficial version that is risky to download onto your device. This newly leaked OS is 4.07.0.99 and the reports from the daredevils who loaded it on their Storm have been mixed. Some are talking about a speedier browser and camera while others say that any changes are a placebo effect. One thing for sure is that the virtual QWERTY in portrait that first appeared with .90 is still in the new OS. And on the browser, the return key has been replaced with a "GO" button highlighted in green. Eventually, RIM and Verizon will decide on the next official upgrade. Until then, we will continue to see leaked software floating around the internet. If you downloaded .99 on your Storm, let us know what you liked and disliked about it.
