We update the phones to the latest firmware when they are out. You can proceed. Nothing changed in the firmware that concerns us from .7 to .8.
If you really want to upgrade go ahead. But what is this particular rush to upgrade the moment a firmware is out? We upgraded but we did not publish for a reason. We do not trust working with a new firmware for 1-2 weeks only. We would want to keep a firmware running for a good period of time.
YOu should do the same. Upgrade one phone and leave it running. If you do not have reports or problems then you know you are safe.
Not only we wait for feedback - but we also test it ourselves and we keep it running for a grace period of time. When we are satisfied, then if we need we publish. If there is one of our requested features we will test heavily and release a supported firmware that same day if necessary. But if there is nothing that concerns us, we just let it get tested on its own during normal operations. We cannot update all our documentation and templates every time a new firmware is released.
But some people do - in that case we use their feedback yes why not. Many people like to download firmwares the moment they come out.
