Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.....

I have a couple of questions that I hoped this community could answer.

I have a 9530 unlocked and working on T-Mobile. E-Mail, Browser , Windows Messenger, etc all work correctly. My current OS is .75.

1) What are the benefits of OS .99?

2) Will I need to reinstall all of the apps that I currently have if I upgrade the OS?

3) Will I need to completely reconfigure to get everything working on T-Mobile again?

4) If I do a backup, then an OS upgrade, then a restore will all of my settings and apps be as before the upgrade?

thanks for the help

I would recommend that you read, read, read. Diving into the upgrade process can seem daunting, but research is part of the journey. I have found myself enjoying the learning that goes along the entire process.

Here's a good start for a load of information on .99:

You will find tons of pros and cons in these links and others.

This thread provides great information on upgrading, backing up and restoring:

just research as much as possible. i upgraded and tried all of the betas, didn't like any of them. pretty buggy for me so i am back down to .75 until an approved upgrade.
