@Aryanjain---considering your urgency and the desire to retain your warranty etc,I'd suggest you get this done by SE spending that Rs.150 but please ask them that you would get the latest firmware which is 2.1.1.A.0.6.This is the second update that most of us in India have got so far.
As for your fears ,Bin4ry is damn good at what he releases but now is not the time to dabble around especially since you have a Vista.
Get your update,enjoy your Eclair for a while meanwhile reading this forum in some detail before beginning to experiment with your phone.Perhaps you can also get XP going in your PC in the meantime.
One other thing---this is a solid phone and unless you use a hammer on it or dip it in boiling water,nothing will go wrong with it and you can always restore it to working condition!
Best wishes.
