3) Maybe it is easier if someone can explain the down side to upgrading to Ermine.

Hello again, Woody!
1) Answered by Gunner, above.
2) No enTourage eDGe has ever been able to get the Android Market without rooting and fiddling around and serious tweaking. BUT! That does not in any way mean you cannot install apps on an eDGe. There are many sources for most of the apps you will want that do not require rooting your device or having an Android phone.
Also, the eDGes come with some apps preinstalled. You will be able to connect to wifi, browse the internet, send and receive email, take pictures and videos, play a few games (I know, you don't care about that!
), read books, use a calendar, work with Microsoft Office documents, draw and handwrite in the journal and on your books, etc. etc. all without installing anything extra or upgrading your device.
3) The biggest downside to upgrading to Ermine is the chance that you will trigger the dreaded (but rare) White Screen of Death. If you gamble and win, you get better battery life, more choice in the apps you can install, and a somewhat nicer user interface.
Hope my answers are clear and helpful!
