    In the past 20 minutes I installed an OTA update without unrooting. Software went from 2.1 (T959..something with J in it) to 2.1-update1 T959UVKA2.

    I was surprised to see notification of an update this morning, but had to wait to get home and back things up before proceeding. And again, it worked.

    That seems so long ago

    Here in the UK we went from 2.1 to 2.1-update 1, to 2.2 (end of October I think), to 2.2.1 (December), and it's said that 2.3 will start rolling out here before the end of the month.

    I was rooted on 2.1 (no custom ROM, just the SU apk), and it updated to 2.2 fine. However it's the custom ROMs and updating those that concern me, as most updates are incremental.
