I'm using it right now and love it. Only thing that isn't working for me is Windows Live Messenger.

you think i should take the chance and upgrade to it??

Why not? If you don't like it, you can always downgrade.

So far, the following apps do not work:
MySpace
Facebook
Viingo (think that's how it's spelled)
WLM

Sounds great...any issues at all with functionality?

[DataCentre]

None for me. Works just great. But will miss WLM. Not going back to 4.7.

well i dont use the facebook app that much but i need WLM ...i heard its difficult to downgrade to 4.6 after upgrading and is there a chance it might brick my phone??

also will it have the same effect on every bold ie. when u install it those listed apps stop working do you think they will stop working for me as well

Downgrading is just as easy as upgrading. All you have to do is uninstall the OS from your computer, then install the downgrade package.

As far as WLM, I'm sure I can do without till the next release where they will hopefully have this fixed. Shouldn't be too far away.

facebook downloads though

My WLM installed via the BB App World program, but no icon on any of my screens. Only shows as being installed in the Applications List.
