Hi all! I just got this phone not even 4 days ago. I am scared to death that I am going to run into some serious problems (as other users have reported) if i upgrade the os to 4.5. If I upgrade and i see problems is there anyway for me to just go back? Like take it back to factory settings? Thanks a bunch!
thank you so much! i have AT&T, I am so nervous to do this but after reading a lot about it should I just go ahead and do it? Or just wait for at&t to put it up for download? even though it's been months since 4.5 has been out?
As long as the OS is for your model (8310) and you follow the directions, it should work. Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to wait for AT&T to release it. We can't tell you to do it.

I don't see what your carrier has to do with it. Either you're comfortable/want to do it or you don't/aren't. We can't answer for you. Do what you want to do.
You run the risk of bricking any BB when you perform an OS upgrade. I've done about 20 -30 BB OS Upgrades over the years and haven't had a problem yet. The key, IMO, is patience. If it seems like it's hung up, walk away and come back to it a half hour or more later.
IMO, its worth the risk. Just don't unplug the USB cable until you see the screen indicating that the update has completed.
