It's just a normal install, I'm almost done so I'll let you know very shortly. I plugged my device into the laptop, executed the file and now i'm updating. Same process as updating my jasjar.

Looks Like I'll have to re-cook my extended rom but so far it's all good.

Same for me - now it's "customizing" the device from the extrom

There's now a battery indicator icon in the top bar
and there's a "TimeSnyc.cab" (that's how it was spelled...)
AND it comes with a screen lock program!

My update went perfectly...
Just follow the instructions on your PC, then on the PPC.

Whats my options now? Do I do the clean install mod the same way as before? Would there be different/more/less cabs i would want to install?

Is it just me, or on inital boot up when you set up the screen, does it seem that the unit is WAYYY more responsive than before?

I soft reset a couple of times and still got the error. On a hunch I uninstalled phonealarm (has been giving me weird problems all month) and voila, it worked. Not sure if it was the 5th soft reset or phonealarm.
