By the way, perhaps Maria could post the URL of the site/s she said she 
couldn't access before having 5.0 burnt in, and that she can visit now, so that 
I (and others who don't have 5.0 burnt in) could test it with our units and 
see.  This is just to make sure no one says I'm making baseless conclusions or 
comments about what other people say.  Further, if you send in your BN/VN for 
repair, I believe that part of the service is to burn in the latest version, 
especially if you have a service contract inforce.  If that's the case, then 
there's no harm in having 5.0 burnt in.
However, if you're going to send in your unit just to have 5.0 burnt in, that's 
a very, very, very unwise decision that involves money which we all know is 
never a joke.  That's my point in writing that I hope people will take care in 
not conjuring the illusion that sending the BN to have 5.0 in ROM is a good 
idea.  There are other issues about having 5.0 there that I cannot speak of but 
know because I've observed it in users with that ROM version, and besides, some 
of them will be fixed soon.
