Maybe I overlooked a thread, but I couldn't find an answer to this:

I'm about to update my OS for the first time (now running.162.) and I'm sort of nervous about it.
Am I gonna have to reinstall my apps after this update?
And if so: Will the Desktop Manager Backup function restore all my installed apps and settings?

I have upgraded my OS 3 or 4 times. Everytime the 3rd party apps were reinstalled with no issues.

Thought this might help you with that...

You can find .282 (the OS that a lot of us recommend) HERE. You can also view the other available OSes for the Bold HERE.

Follow these two guides:

You will need CrackMem, which you can get HERE. The instructions for CrackMem can be found HERE.

If you do decide to upgrade the Operating System of your Bold be sure to take your time and follow the instructions carefully.

Not a problem. You'll be fine if you follow the instructions.

Even if the apps re-load, you may have to register them the first time you call them up. Not a problem, but be prepared for that so you're not frustrated.

Good to know, that. Hope I've still got those activation codes in my mailbox somewhere...

I just did my first update yesterday. Like you i went from 162 to 266. It was easy and fast. Everything worked fine after. Only thing was some 3rd party apps needed me to re register. The process took a total of 30 min for me.
You'll be fine
