I have a storm. Don't know about the software. Had it for about 8 months. Love the phone though.

Can't you dial *228 or something on the phone to upgrade it automatically?

No. It's a big download. Need a computer. Thinking about doing mine now. Read about some problems on some forums but not for everyone.

So been running it now for about 2 days. It's much faster, seems more stable then the other version. I upgraded after downloading the file and it did all it had to do with no issues. Even re-activated on our BB exchange server here without need of help.

Not sure if this means anything since u have a Storm, but I had a BB Tour for a couple weeks and it had the V5 software on it. It ran great! I liked the updated BB messenger.

I imagine everything is the same except its a touch screen whereas the Tour obviously isnt.

Its not too bad. The new word spell check thing is a little strange to get used to. It is definantly faster.
