I'm giving the patch a month of open running and then I'll grab the 1.4.1 version when it's released (assuming there are next to zero reports of bricking). My Pre is my only phone so I can't risk it being bricked for any reason.]]>Mar 26th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/

caj2008 on the Pre Central forums has informed me (and the forum) that no Alpha testers have bricked their phones. Also, caj has given some download information stating the patch has been grabbed over 8000 (I'll make a 9k joke when he flags it as OVER 9000!!!) times. In the official thread no one has reported a bricked phone and most "problems" are due to people not following instructions to the T (over 75 pages with over 1500 in replys as of this posting). caj has been VERY generous in replying to nearly ALL problems in that thread. The ones he does not answer have been answered by other community members covering for him while he does something human, like sleep.

I'm probably going to install it after I get back from Vegas (usfirst.org GO 1013!!!) next week instead of my indicated month and 1.4.1 version update...]]>Mar 28th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/

Come on do not buy a phone over a processor.

As for those who are wondering about crashes or freezing, I have yet to experience any such incidents. My phone has been perfect so far with themes and patches. There is no real reason not to install the patch from what I have seen, except for possible long term effects. Be weary if installing it on earlier builds of the Pre (launch models) because it has been mentioned that their build quality is not the greatest.]]>Mar 26th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/Mar 26th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/pre-gets-a-nasty-800mhz-overclock-patch-for-all-to-enjoy-at-one/
