New leaked OS updates for Storm 9500 and 9530

It has been a while, but we can tell you that now we have two new leaked OS upgrades for the BlackBerry Storm. The Verizon model of the first touchscreen BlackBerry, the 9530, gets 4.7.0.103. The Vodafone version, the 9500, gets 4.7.0.106. Again, as these are completely unofficial, leaked versions, there is plenty of risk when downloading it on your Storm. The early comments are positive with improvements seen on the camera, navigation, and browser. Color depth seems to have taken a turn for the worse with some complaints about the colors on the screen looking washed out. It has been some time since the last official firmware upgrade and perhaps these two will be the next official releases from Verizon and Vodafone. If you have downloaded .103 on your 530 or .106 on your 9500, let us know what changes you have seen in your Storm.
