I am running the original 1.0.8.6067 it came with.

If I wipe, I am told I will lose everything -- Apps I've purchased, all my pix, etc. Can I get these back if I backup on DM first?

You could get them back if you backup and restore but then if you do that you may as well just do the upgrade.
I suggest just doing the upgrade...

No need for a wipe at all.
Just do the upgrade, it should work just fine. I had 1.0.8 and upgraded without any issues.

And as soon as you are done upgrading do a backup with the DM.

Good luck

I just went for it, didn't have much I was worried about and when I came back online with OS2.0 all my bookmarks were in the same spot I left them so I was happy

Experiences may vary, though I just updated as-is. All of my camera photos, saved photos from the web, purchased & free apps... all there.

Backup is recommended regardless of what you do.

went for the update without backups and i have no problems all where still there. it works all pretty fine for now.
OS2.0 looks crisp and simple, tonight it's the night that i will spend with my playbook for sure.

I had the official OS and just updated OTA. Everything turned out well, NO problems to speak of. Backup and you should be fine

Same for me. Was running official OS to start with, downloaded OTA (only took about 20 minutes for the whole upgrade ), and all is well. Even my progress in Angry Birds is there. Definitely backup just to be on the safe side & then have fun!!
