Ok. I am admittedly a complete newb but I am finding it difficult to understand all the variance in people's reactions to installing this (and others) version. I had my curve for a very brief time, never had a blackberry previously, before upgrading to a newer OS simply by following the instructions given by you very helpful and knowledgeable people. Worked the first time no problems. Is it possible that there is just a lot of user error (i.e., not doing it right) explaining the "works great no problems!" response to the "I'm getting all these errors, wont work for me" response? Understand, no disrespect to anyone! Just wondering if I may face a similar response the next time I try to upgrade mine.
I'm done with the DL, just have to wait until I get home for my USB. . .While reading previous posts I see that some people aren't wiping and some are. . which is best for the OS and phone?

Go to manage connections and make sure mobile network is on.
Go to the vzw bis site and resend your service books, if you did a J_LCommander wipe, before the install, you'll need to do a restore to get all your contacts/preferences back.
ok..whats the difference......the original rapidshare file has PBr4.7.0_rel120
and yours has
PBr4.7.0_rel15 in the file name. Are these really the same?
You know, I really dont know, I thought i uploaded the wrong file at first, but I think filefront just kinda shortened the name down. I think it stopped at the "1" in "120" and then through the "5", the last character before the exe.

a wipe isn't required but recommended every 3 or 4 updates
i get a big white box at the top of my home screen in portait now..after the upgrade. anyone else getting that? it cuts my home screen picture in half!

I didn't wipe with this one, did a full wipe with all of the others,
No problems.
My first load of .76 I did with no wipe, it was really buggy, did a wipe/reload, it was my favorite build afterwards.
Looks like .85 will be stepping in as my new favorite, all my bugs from .83 are gone (for now),
including the famous even though suretype is the default keyboard in portrait, T9 is what you get.
