Research in Motion, creator of the popular Blackberry branding, has recently announced that their debut touchscreen device, the Storm, is now ready to have its firmware updated.

The update brings the firmware up to version 4.7.0.113 and is said to be the first major update since December. This version not only fixes a bunch of the glitches that many users had gripes about but also adds some newfound functionality to the device. After updating you’ll be able to use a full QWERTY keyboard in portrait mode making for a much smoother experience.

There is no telling when the firmware will actually be made available for download but Verizon assures us it will be soon.
