Default Re: To update OS or not on 9650; OS6 or 5.0.0.983

So, my question really is- is the juice worth the squeeze for doing an OS update (.983 for OS5) or upgrade to OS6?

My only real complaint with .810 (and maybe all of OS5) is the browser- it is HORRIBLE. I only use it for work but even so, going to some pages and having to use the zoom to even read it is a real pain, and the pages don't really display correctly.

I know this is a personal opinion with people, but I am interested in opinions of those who have done the update (what does .983 offer that .810 doesn't) or upgrade to OS6.

Thanks for any and all opinions.

The newest I've found from Verizon Wireless is 5.0.0.975, not familiar with .810 nor .983. Guess I'll do a little searching.
