    what version are you running?
    will you do a clean swipe and start fresh?
    backup restore?
    over wifi or DM?

    I will definitely wipe my existing 2.0.0.7111 beta before or immediately after the update.

    I'll definitely not do anything special on my 1.0.8, but will merely update it OTA as we're expected to.

    I'll probably do a backup of 1.0.8 first, though I just did one last night so maybe not.

    Running 1.08, already have a current enough backup, so I will simply touch the update button.

    I'll probably wipe my 1.0.8 back to stock before doing the update OTA

    Well, just prepared my baby an hour ago (or so). This was originally an answer to F2 thread discussing about "debrick duration". I let this "as is" anyone can take or leave whatever he wants. This is my personal experience, if you don't feel comfortable ... just upgrade by pressing the button (yet, I'll suggest you do it in the DM).
    In my case, I've downgraded from 2.0.0.7111 to 1.0.8.6067, prior to do the natural update in a few days.

    Basically, 3 steps :
    1. wipe (partial sequence)
    2. debrick (with core OS install - Blackberry Desktop software Manager PC / USB)
    3. OS "complements" install (PB/wifi)


    WARNING : THE WIPE/DEBRICK IS NOT MANDATORY TO UPGRADE
    Mostly, it's for beta users and those who have tricked/dingleberried/side-loaded their PB.

    17:23 : Security wipe + reboot (BB Playbook white letters on black screen)
    17:24 : blue - green circles display
    17:26 : here comes the red circles and then, the language selection.
    17:28 : language + lang settings: OK I set both to France. swipe left
    17:29 : connected to wifi. Swipe left. Hour definition . swipe left
    17:31 : licence agreement. accept + left swipe + limited guarantee warning + left swipe
    17:36 BlackberryID screen .OK no pb
    * Ok the PB is wipped (probably sooner than this) ... don't need to stand wifi ... let's go DM now.*
    [mouhahaha ... phone call]
    17:42 : Shutting down the PB. Start DM . Plug the PB USB
    17:43 : "Can't connect to device yada-yada" : Hit the upgrade button. Rolling back to 1.0.8xx
    downloading (cable modem here 100Mb/s) ...
    17:57 : "connexion to the device" [PB starts - red, blue, green circles]
    17:59 : DM states : "Update is finished you can disconnect your tablet."
    18:00 Now classical setup
    1. language - welcome + lang/country
    2. wifi
    3. hour/date settings
    4. licence
    5. limited waranty
    6. BB ID
    7. DL of updates for 1.0.8.6067 (was it 29.6 Mb ?)
    8. Reboot
    18:05 : install successful. left swipe
    18:06 : bridge config : using tags (dirty phone lens; clean it !) OK
    18:08 : basic lessons
    18:10 : All fresh PB under 1.0.8.6067.

    So I just started the wipe process until I feel pretty confident that everything is wipped, and then combine with the debrick method you're familiar with. May help some ...

    I've already copied everything off my 2 PBs and also did the full backups. A few days after OS2 is released, I'll security wipe both PBs and reload the official core image using DM.

    ...yeah, I'm not going to worry much. I'll just confirm that the update shows up on my current Dev Preview PB. When it shows up, that is.

    I will probably back up the whole PB then I will do a complete factory wipe and reset.

    I'll treat it like whenever I re-install my OS on my Mac =D

    I'll use DM, but will probably just upgrade from the beta to the official OS2. If I have any problems, then I'll look at wiping, de-bricking, etc.

    Edit: sometimes this predictive text gets a little overzealous.

    I'll upgrade from .7111 via DM as OTA might take too long. Only if I experience an issue, will I start over via debrick. Why go through all the work if I don't need to? (I did have to do this once before because of the leaked Android player.)

    I've been thinking the same thing.
    Why go throught the extra steps if it's not necessary?
    Won't it wipe and start over like with the device updates?

    Security wipe prior to install then check for updates... (currently using 2.0.0.711 beta, which is why I'm wiping)

    Like I always do with desktop os. I never upgrade always a fresh install both with osx and win7. With pb I will do a full back and will do de brick method and hopefully it installs os2 instead of os1 first.

    Just a curious question. Is the debrick/security wipe method required if you're on the 7111 build? Will it cause problems if I just upgrade OTA or through DM?

    Thanks

    I'll be using OTA to update my Beta 7111 to the official version, unless it's not possible to just update without having to first wipe.

    I will wait and see how the update goes for everyone else then decide. I wont have time (or knowledge) to deal with any problems.
