Has anyone tried the upgrade on an AT&T Blackberry yet? Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

I have an AT&T Curve 8310 (crimson). Not only have I upgraded to the latest software (4.5.0.81) but I had upgraded probably within a week of receiving the Curve to what was the latest at that time which I believe was 4.5.0.37. I have upgraded to at least 3 other versions in between. Just check at the top of this forum for the latest upgrade for the 8310 and follow the instructions exactly (print them out and check off as you do it). (I always also apply John Clark's memory optimization process as well.) If you do run into problems, it can be fixed. Just be sure and check here for the answer before you panic. Only once did I have any problems upgrading and I'm assuming it was because I missed a step since I got overly confident and didn't print the instructions and check-off. Of course, I spent a couple of hours trying to fix it before I returned to the original instructions to find out that it told me what to do if the 507 error occured.
I can't emphasize enough -- the instructions here on blackberryforums.com are excellent but you do need to follow exactly. If John Clark or JSanders says it, I trust it (well, regarding BBs anyway).
