Actually, not so brave. When I wanted a Russified Reader to give as a gift a few months back, I picked up a 505. But being too chicken to reflash it (fearing the brick result, although it would be more of a shingle than a brick!), I cleaned up and flashed my 500 and gave that as a present. (It was in very good condition, with original box and accessories, and it's for my SO anyway so the packaging doesn't even matter!)
I decided to flash the 505 after seeing a few others here do it, mainly because I really missed the clock, and the mixed menu font sizes were a bit annoying. The new icons and Russification are a bonus.
BTW, I also flashed the 'joystick' mod just to have the lower-right button as a page turn option. I noticed that this button does *not* go forward/back by 10 pages when the button is held, unlike the other page turn buttons.
