RIM is constantly working on new OS versions, and they spit them out (usually) pretty quickly. Historically there is no difference between a "beta" and a carrier release, except that the carrier has certified the official version for mass use. I am running the .190 software and haven't had any ill effects except for slow initial signal acquisition, but that my just be because I'm in a dungeon near the White House in Washington DC and it takes a miracle to get any signal here. So many RF shielded buildings, such a little antenna, you get the picture.

Anyway, if you're feeling frisky, go for the .190 version. Just keep in mind that if you need customer support, you have to go back to whatever version has been officially released by YOUR carrier. In my case for ATT, I have to go all the way back to .167. Ouch.
