O2 XDA EXEC (UK) - Worth uprading with Latest Orange ROM??

[philby]

Well the question is in the title!

1. First of all is this possible?

2. If I did do it, would I end up with a sim locked phone?

3. Is any additional software required to do the upgrade?

4. And more importantly, what, if any? benefits would I see using the latest Orange ROM over the latest O2 ROM????

Thanks in advance for any replies :)

Yes its possible. I have it for about 3 weeks - push email, if you open the extended rom you get huge amount of free program memory compared to the O2 Rom. No Simlock. Very satisifed really.

Thanks Daveyc for the reply, can you specifically answer the questions though? :? What I mean is were you upgrading a O2 XDA EXEC? And if so did you require any additional software to perform the upgrade (obviously orange rom aside!!) Thanks

Yes I do have an XDA Exec bought in the UK and no I didn't need any additional software except the ExtRom viewer and unhider - and also the separate Radio Rom 1.09. For the OS itself its just a regular upload. David
