might want to check. I'm running 4.7.0.148. Another thing that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.... it is recommended to do a hard reset of your bb storm every once in a while to optimize your performance because memory leaks and will cause the phone to perform slower. Unfortunately, it IS a terrible downside.

I'm not so sure about the release date of the Storm 2... considering the Bold was "supposedly" coming out last summer and got delayed for almost half a year... Unless the release date is confirmed by an official, everything else is pretty much speculative.
