    heres what they will say:

    I need my IM apps to work. Ive heard that there are too many bugs with 5.0. Ive loaded it but it didnt work on my phone. Im gonna wait for the official realease of .191

    and there will be many many many many more excuses. The only real excuse is laziness!

    do you have a computer with desktop manager installed? Do you have a USB cable? Its really not that hard. The instructions are really easy to follow.

    The only reason I haven't upgraded is because Vista just started to be difficult with me and won't recognize the downloaded OS's. Plus .191's camera doesn't work.

    I don't think you will be able to do an ota if you're not on official software.

    .151 isnt bad. Its understandable why people would stay one .151. The thing that I wouldnt understand is why someone would be on .140 or .154 when .191 and .230 are here.

    Yes and Yes. But man if I screw it up and brick my phone I cant really afford to go buy another one.. Plus I read all these findings and fixes threads where people talk about PRL's not working and crap like that and I have no idea what any of that means.. So if something was to go wrong I would have a hard time explaining it to people to try and figure it out.. I hunt for a living shooting a bow and arrow and Im not real good with this kind of thing.. **** the only reason I have a BB in the first place is because I needed a way to send emails to Outfitters while I travel.. Thats it. Other than that I wouldnt really need one I dont think.

    its actually really easy, and if you do brick your phone you dont have to buy a new one. We can help you unbrick it too. I actually bricked mine going to .230 but i got it workin.

    Nope you have to be on your carrier's latest official to be able to do an OTA upgrade when one is available. That's why so many people couldn't get the OTA update for .148 b/c they were running something other than .75

    I'm on .167. Tried all the 5.X leaks except .230, but when I found that .230 had the same SMS bug as .191 where it jumps halfway through the thread when you open a new SMS I figured there was no need to try it.

    Had a decent overall experience on .191 but the new features need some polishing before I make it my daily. .167 is a reasonable compromise I think.

    Make sure you REMOVE RIM INTERNAL APPS after the .191 install on your pc. Remove it. Seriously. No excuse for not double clicking the program entry under add/remove programs.

    Then install .230 and enjoy your new phone.

    Is there a huge noticable difference between the how to .230 version and lyricidal's version? Becase I'm running the how to .230 with absolutely no problems.

    How to .230 - from the how to post on it, the first of the links.
