    You can also get 5.0.0.656, which is the official (not beta or leaked) version from RIM…but not from T-Mobile. Be sure to back up your data, though! My address book got messed up — like it was put in a blender — and tonight I am really appreciating the value of backups.

    did the upgrade here, very slow process, almost thought it crashed….finally booted, may a bit snappier, icons set back to default, had to hide and move everything, address book went rogue and shipped all my contacts to an online database which i didn’t want. made one call, used both 3g and wifi, other end reported good call quality, used sms for txt and mms for a pic, feels about the same, txt page has timestamp at top rather than in fields, color look for photo buttons, we’ll see, it was a “not broke” situation which years of computers has always proved a bad choice but it’s done…..will see over the course of a few days whether it’s improved…..says trackpad fixed, noticed outdoors on my boat the trackpad almost frozen, not sure if that’s fixed….wish me luck
