Hello there - long time reader, first time poster (and thanks to everyone for your excellent advice and resources thus far)

I have read through every post about 6.1 for a few days now and am still unsure whether I should upgrade or not. I am not the original owner of my phone (got it in a trade + cash deal) and do not have access to the original documentation of sale, warranty, etc...

That being said, my question is, what are the risks that upgrading to 6.1 will kill my phone? Seems to have happened more than once just in this community. And is 6.1 good enough that it's worth the risk? (elimination of third party software is always a benefit in my book, + threaded sms and the faster typing due to no missed letters...).

Anyways, just thought it was time I sought expert advice before I attempted an upgrade. I do use SPB programs but with the exception of some P+ stuff, it's mostly for novelty and convenience so I could live without them for awhile.

Thanks in advance and for the all the resources I've used in the past without posting thanks
