Imate K-Jam: Is an upgrade necessary?

[connex91]

Forgive my ignorance but i just bought an Imate KJam and I saw there was a newer ROM available. I'm currently running this system:

ROM: 1.1.9.3 Date 9/16/05
Radio: 01.01.10
Protocol 4.0.13.16
ExtROM: 1.1.9.106

I'm in canada on the Rogers gsm/gprs network and besides being slow at times, i have no issues with my device whatsoever.

I saw there was a newer ROM version,
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe

is it worth installing? Is there a website where we can see the difference between the various ROM/Radio versions?

Thanks!

I would most certainly upgrade, but I'd think it's rather personal. It does really speed up your device, and give you some nice upgrades... (new CommManager for example)

Take Care!

one week ago i was in the same situation wondering if i go for an upgrade or not.
now i m very satisfied with my wizard as it become faster,more reliable,better BT...only good things.
and frankly i decided after reading a lot from this forum and was really confident that in any case someone will help to solve any difficulty if you follow basic role.
by the way before going ahead,remove all password protection,remove sim and microsd after backuping your important data.
for me the process lasted less than 20mn.i DLoaded the french rom 2.17, removed sim,sd card and pwd, desinstalled and reinstalled activesych to have a clean partnership, entered bootloader mode (?hesitation on that point no more sure if i did or not) ,launched the prog and followed recommendations. the upgrade itself took 10 mn but i noticed that at 50 and 80% everything seemed to stop for three or four mn but continued normally then do not panic when it seems that the process stop.
last word go ahead you will not regret it.
regards!
