I'm pretty nervous about upgrading my OS. I think I'm more afraid of screwing up & then not being able to fix it. So I was thinking one day, and I wonder would it be possible for someone who works at AT&T to do the upgrade for me? Or is this something that would have to be done on my own?
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

I updated my OS for the first time about a week ago to v4.5, and it was amazingly easy. It took about an hour, but the update really has made my blackberry even more addictive.
lol, great observation my friend, that first time through is a bit of a nail biter.... is it supposed to do that? It been 10 seconds and nothing is happening!...
After building up a bit of confidance, you learn to go take a coffee break, it will work just fine without your input.
Merry Christmas and thank you for your support, it has been great sharing the forums with you.
Yup, I did mine a while back, I was nervous too. Some ppl on here told me not to do it, others encouraged me. I was afraid of bricking it, but in the end, it all worked out.
Just like oneplanonelife said, it does make it more addictive! I even accidentally downgraded one morning before work and after I realized what I did, took a deep breath and cussed a few times, I upgraded it right then and was able to get to work on time you will do fine once you get the courage to do it
yeah... i tried updating the OS and ended up wiping the whole thing... tried to plug it in and everytime i tried to load it up it would tell me i was missing some RIM Composite Driver and would disconnect during the load.
Make sure your laptop doesn't go into power save mode during the upgrade. I speak from experience, lol.
Luckily I did a backup beforehand and was able to recover the phone thanks to the very knowledgeable people we have here on the forums. That being said, 4.5 has been excellent and I couldn't imagine going back to 4.3
upgrading was a bit nerve racking the first time, but it is easy, just follow the sticky instructions and you will be fine, mine went perfect. I got the same want to throw up feeling I took my bb apart and replaced the housing too, but now it's not a big deal to do, just have to get comfortable and work at your own pace.
good luck
I just upgraded for the first time less than an hour ago! Very nervewracking, but pretty easy really.
The only problem is I erased all of my contacts! Does anyone know how I can restore them?? There are a lot of numbers I really need!

Plug your device in and select click Backup & Restore, click Advanced, click File over the left hand box, then Open and select a recent previous backup to populate the box on the left, then highlight to select address book (you should have two address book entries, and then click the arrows to move the selection(s) to the box on the right. Then click update. This should return your address book contacts.
