[Pundit]

I'm using a Vodafone VPX that I purchased on eBay for £125.  Not a bad deal methinks.  


Device information:

ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio Version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.155 WWE

I'm thinking of upgrading to the latest ROM from T-Mobile (version 1.42) - is that possible with a Vodafone supplied unit?  

What improvements would I notice?  Would having a later radio version allow me to connect to WiFi networks with WPA AES encryption?

And if I did use the latest upgrader program from T-Mobile, what are the chances of frying my unit?

I'm trying to work out if upgrading's worth my while.
