Not even thirty minutes after I posted the leaked version @MoeStepp let me know that Verizon has made the official version available for download! Better late than never right?

OS 5.0.0.328 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 is available for download through Desktop Manager or through Verizon’s BlackBerry software download site vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry. I tested it and you can enter any number to get the download, it doesn’t have to be a Verizon number. Feel free to use the one I entered in the screenshot above.

I’ve included the full changelog after the jump. Let me know how you like this update in the comments!
