BlackBerry Rocks!: Official OS 4.7.0.122 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 from Bell

    I've been using this version for a while. If you haven't broken free of Verizon and ventured outside of the box, THIS IS THE OS TO DO IT WITH. You get the enhanced copy-paste selection tool, MUCH more responsive screens, far less reboots, greatly increased battery life, impressive radio, VERY quick GPS sync, spotless bluetooth and above all else no camera bugs.

    My Storm boots in 1:30 on .122, as compared to 3:40 on .75, verizon's stock OS. Really now?
    Other key points:
    -Responsive touch
    -Quick Accelerometer
    -Full Keyboard in Portrait
    -US English Support (all other OS's were UK english... bleh.)
    -Faster GPS

    The only thing I'll say negatively is just if you have GPS on, MAKE SURE LOCATION AIDING IS OFF! The feature actually WORKS in this version, and while you'll have crazy fast locate times, I bought a second battery because I thought my phone went wonky. aka, I had 4 hour battery life with Location Aiding on. TURN IT OFF.

    .122 is definitely the cats meow.
