DESKTOP SOFTWARE (PC)http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/This is the software that PC users use to manage their BB's from a PC. You got a copy on the CD that came with your storm labeled Blackberry Tools. However, RIM does update it from time to time. You want Blackberry Desktop Software 4.7

It is not nearly as fully featured as the PC software. RIM has been taking about writing a Mac version of the DM for several years but thus far it has not happened
OTA Software Update (PC Only)To update your software Over The Air, connect your Storm to your computer with the USB cable and visit the following URL from
Internet Explorer 5.5 or newer

BB OS Download SitesThe following link leads to RIM's master list of OS download sites for all carriers all over the world.
It's a poorly kept secret that the BB OS is device specific not carrier specific which means that that as long as the OS software is meant for your device 9630 it will work if you delete or rename
Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader/Vendor.xml on your computer.
VZW Users this means that you can use the OS from Sprint and any other carriers who end up carrying this specific phone as well as VZW, but that does not mean that VZW will support it. As always installing non carrier supported software is at your own risk BUT people have been doing it for years with few issues.http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
