Me three, but if you're not comfortable installing a hybrid then .131 would be your best choice.

I had 131 since january, and recently upgraded to 160 last week. The only problem I ran into was with opera mini because I couldn't access the menu through the bb button. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with 160. People talk about it being faster, and quite honestly I haven't noticed a dramatic change in speed. So I'm not sure if it has something to do with my personal bb.

Thanks, I think I'll try the 160. The hybrid sounds cool, but this is the first time im upgrading so I'd rather walk before I run

What carrier are you with?

If your with VZW then you will probably not stick with .160 very long.

.160 has a chirp/squeal during calls for some on VZW.

This menu problem in Opera is related to your theme, not your OS. Themes with transparent menu backgrounds have a problem with OM.

Thanks, well then I'll shop around for a bit, or just wait out Verizon, which will probably not happen

Also a 8330 user w/ Verizon. The 160 Chirp will drive you nuts Trust ME! Follow the write up for the hybrid, it works great.
