PE here tomorrow! Any words of Wisdom?

flyred77 · 11-01-2011, 10:53 PM

Hi all,

My Pocket Edge will be here tomorrow and I want to update ASAP. So if I follow the instructions in the first "Sticky Thread" should I be well on my way?

We have two ZT-180's that are mounted on the wall in the kitchen and the mirror in the master Bath and have been able to keep them updated with the latest builds and fix various issues, so I am hoping my edge will be just as sweet.

Any words of wisdom for I begin my updating process?

Thanks all, enjoying the forum.

Don't rush in to updating.

Your PE will be a different experience to other tablets so I would advise you to use it as it is for a few days. That way you will learn what you can do with it and how it works.

Too many people have run into problems because they didn't understand how their PE, and EE, worked - they made assumptions based on what they knew of other tablets, those assumptions very often are not valid, hence the problems.

As Filark says, enjoy what you have but learn its quirks.

Yes indeed, quirky is an apt description for the PE. Like the old VW microbus - quirky but lovable. Listen to Filark enjoy and to ivantj get acquainted with your PE as it comes before going down the upgrade road for that way lay dragons.

I bought two PEs in April 2011 and upgraded them both on day one with no problems and no regrets. Both still work flawlessly. If you do decide to update make sure you have the original Dingo build in case things do go wrong. Also, read through every thread you can find on the subject to see what other owners have experienced. I'm not suggesting you upgrade right away, but if you do, do your homework and have a plan. The upgrade instructions in the Resource Sticky upgrade instructions came directly from Entourage when they were in business. Good luck and enjoy your Edge.
