RIM clears up BlackBerry Storm OS situation
Engadget —
Well, it looks it looks like we can put the first Storm conspiracy theory to rest, as RIM has now come out and said that the supposed delay-causing Storm OS glitch was, in fact, more of a sticker glitch, and that there was never such a thing as an OS version 4.7.0.82. As you may recall, the rumors started flying when some Storms started showing up with a sticker indicating the OS version as 4.7.0.82, while the device itself showed that the OS was version 4.7.0.65. That prompted some to speculate that the OS had to be downgraded at the last minute, prompting ...

The Great BlackBerry Storm sticker scandal, RIM confesses
Phones Review —
... 4.7.0.82 while the Storm actually used OS version 4.7.0.65, this then prompted rumours that the BlackBerry Storm’s OS had to be downgraded which caused the delay.
However, RIM are now saying that several thousand boxes were actually printed with the incorrect OS number which then needed covering with the sticker showing the correct OS version. So one can say that puts the great BlackBerry Storm delay scandal to rest, all RIM needs now is to release an update.
