I have a Black Berry Pearl 8100 under a T-Mobile contract.

Now, my current OS is 4.2.1.107 for the 8100, my desktop software is 4.2.2.14

I have been searching the internet and apparently the newest (non beta) stable OS is the 4.5.0.81. In order to upgrade my OS I must also upgrade my desktop software apparently. But here comes the question.

When I go onto the T mobile site they say that the most up to date software and OS is the 4.2.1.107 / 4.2.2.14 combo. Not surprisingly, the same combo that I have. Due to the fact that I simply downloaded the software off the disk that came with the phone.

So for someone in my situation would it be smart to upgrade the software/OS? Obviously using another carriers software. Iv heard of some problems ( in previous upgrades) in which the camera no longer worked can someone elaborate?

PS- I'm pritty happy with the current combo I have, all I wish to really do is watch you tube videos, which I hear 4.5 is needed in order to do.
