It appears that although the BlackBerry Storm 2 smartphone has been discontinued, Verizon Wireless hasn’t left owners in the lurch when it comes to operating system updates as apparently the Big Red has now released a new update for the aforementioned BlackBerry device.
According to an article over on Phone News, Verizon Wireless has begun rolling out the new update which delivers bug fixes and several enhancements to the BlackBerry Storm 2 smartphone.
The improvements include smoother handoffs between coverage areas, improved audio on voice and DRM video, faster start up, and improved video playback via headset and media DRM files.
As for those enhancement to the BlackBerry Storm 2, the user can now enter in excess of 160 characters in a message when connected to a GSM/UMTS network, send texts to multiple people whilst receiving and inbound call, access multiple quick access widgets, widget support from VCast apps and smoother activation of enterprise secure wipe/lock IT policy sets.
So there you have it, seems BlackBerry Storm 2 users on the Verizon network haven’t been forgotten after all; feel free to let us know if anything else of interest pops up in this new update.
