Only one person has had success from 0.83 and many haven't

I would definately NOT recommend this for 0.83 unless you're very brave

[Vistrix]

Ah thanks. This phone definitely has the new SLCD screen, I compared it with a mates phone.

I guess I'll wait it out!

As someone who never installed the official 2.2 update and has an old AMOLED phone, why do people seem so keen to downgrade 0.83 to 0.80?

There are several reports that 0.83 is rootable. So why downgrade?

Yeah it appears that downgrades/root work fine IF you have an AMOLED.
I have contacted unrevoked to see if they're aware of the problems with SLCD screens.

Why would you downgrade hboot, just use unrevoked if you need root
