How many of you have wanted to do the switch and then read the "how to" and said "no way"? I did the leaked 5.0, but my GPS did not work and I down graded. I believe the 5.0 hybrid is a solution, but every time I read through the proper download/upload I procedure, it is a bit frightening. My computer is Vista driven and that may be part of the problem. I have not become "one" with that operating system. Anyway, I did like 5.0 when I had it but the GPS feature of my phone outweighs the advantages of 5.0.
Well, for some reason I couldn't get the Boost 5.0 to work, but I used the hybrid one and it works fine. At first glance there seems to be a lot of steps, but don't be intimidated. They're really helpful and guide you every step of the way!
I'm running on Vista as well and I encountered no problems with the hybrid.
I too did the hybrid and used bbsak to wipe which I never used to do because I thout the install instructions were to much. But I did it step by step like it said to and it all came out fine. I was using xp though. I have windows 7 now but have not yet installed desktop manager. I haven't b een able to get the gps to work though. I've only tried once.
