Ok soooo I am still rocking the original OS mine shipped with from Tmo - - the .114 release. It works fine for the most part, battery life isn't the greatest, takes FOREVER to reboot, has autorestarted on me once, and is sometimes slow as heck, but youtube works (if a lil buggy sometimes - tends to have problems buffering even with strong signal) and all my apps work just fine. The browser gets kind of buggy sometimes, but always works if I'm patient with it.

Is it really worth it for me to upgrade to this or any of the other upgrades?

I think the answer is obvious. No! simply reading this thread will show you the enormous amount of conflicts and disfunction. If your BB is a toy (like it is for many here) then go ahead and try it. If you actually need a BB for important stuff like keeping track of employees, contracts, appoitments and other stuff this disfunctional upgrade will leave you at risk on the job.

Exactly why I haven't tried this out yet. If it were my personal phone no problem. I can't risk not having this phone work.

Or alternatively, install it, as it works fine, gives better battery life, and only the people who have problems with it are likely to post about it.
