Can the Storm 2 9550 OS be Upgraded

Hello,

 

  I am debating as to whether I want to purchase a Storm2 9550 or a Torch 9850. My questions are "What OS is on the Storm 2 9550?" and "Can it be upgraded to OS7? I know the Torch 9850 has BB OS 7.

Please use plain text.

Re: Can the Storm 2 9550 OS be Upgraded

Hello,

The Storm line, as EOL, is locked into the OS5 level, and I will never move beyond that. For the 9550, I think the final version was 5.0.0.1082 (at least that's what I have installed on my now-useless 9550).

Good luck!

Get a 9850, it's a great device light years ahead of the 9550.

You can find out for yourself...

and keep the link handy, because by January or April, what models they carry will very very likely change.
