Here’s one for the books - the MLB.com At Bat 2010 is now available, but it appears that its only for the Storm.

A little something official for all you Storm 9520 owners out there.

BBCool reader Michael S. writes in to say that page 2&3 of the March 1st issue of Canadian Business shows the BlackBerry Storm2 and within the ad says “See all there is to see with BlackBerry Storm smartphones from Rogers…” We’ve been hearing about the Storm series coming to Rogers for some time now, and it would be great to finally get this device. On the other hand, it could be the ad department is lazy and switched out “Verizon” for “Rogers” without thinking.

A s k and ye shall receive. Earlier today we landed a link for OS 5.0.0.497 for the Storm2 9520 , and BBLeaks has again made many Storm2 owners happy, dropping OS 5.0.0.451 for the Storm2 9550. Hit the link below for download, and be sure to leave a comment with your findings

  Another day, another update. The Storm 9500 is the latest device to be graced with new software as Vodafone Australia has officially released OS 5.0.0.451. We saw another official 9500 release a few weeks back , but this one looks like a pretty decent jump from there.
