Two anti-pirouettes for you, for not warning a newbie as to potential damage from upgrading.

That's why I said it is a personal preference. In fact if you read my post I suggested she stay with Dingo if it meets her needs. As far as the beta bricking your device it is probable but HIGHLY unlikely. The people who had problems (mainly White Screen of Death) is more likely a hardware problem and not caused by the upgrade. There are literally thousands of Edge users on this forum who have installed the beta with no problems whatsoever, myself included. If you were to ask them which firmware they prefer almost everyone would answer the Ermine beta. I own three Entourage devices, 2 Pocket Edge and one full-size Edge all upgraded to the Ermine beta. On the PE the beta works flawlessly and is highly polished. On the EE some users report hibernation and browser issues. I haven't experienced the hibernation problem with the Ermine beta on my EE most likely due to the Hardware (chipset) in my EE.
