Verizon and RIM are preparing two imminent updates for the BlackBerry Storm, in an attempt to address multiple bugs in OS v4.7.0.65.  The first OTA update is expected to be released next week, and tackle sudden volume changes, problems with audio during calls and spontaneous restarts, among other things.  The second, which is expected sometime in December, will tackle disappearing email and CDMA network connectivity, keypress misses and screen orientation issues.  While the full roster of fixes is unknown, a leaked internal Verizon document has laid out a number of issues for customer service reps to be aware of, which you can read after the cut.

So you’ve read part one of our BlackBerry Storm 9530 review and you quite fancy wandering down to your nearest Verizon Wireless store come Friday 21st and picking up RIM’s new touchscreen handset yourself.  Not so fast; contrary to initial reports that supplies should not be a problem, the word now is that after a last-minute handset reflash numbers won’t be quite as plentiful.

This year has seen potentially game-changing devices from HTC, Apple, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, and now it’s the turn of RIM to show us they can do more than just email.  The BlackBerry Storm marks a significant first for the company: it’s the only BlackBerry to have a touchscreen and no hardware keyboard.  In the first part of our Verizon BlackBerry Storm 9530 review, we’ll cover the hardware – including the unique ClickThrough touchscreen – the preinstalled software and our initial impressions, together with some preliminary battery feedback.
