So this is the same i7500L that is being sold in Canada and you have successfully rooted and installed custom image? What did you gain and what did you lose if anything with the custom firmware?
I'm tempted to try this myself but so far your the only one I have read who did this successfully with the i7500L. Was it worth it?

Sanzzy,
you can't imagine how stressful this update was for me! Thank God this forum exist! 
Let me answer all your questions:
1- I did, after a big scare, install the latest firmware to our complicated i7500L model! I did not rooted, just used Odin to update!
2- I can tell all the gain i had, comparing with my old firmware II3:
a) Battery life is much longer than before. I'm using the wireless connection for almost full day and the battery is in 28%.
b) The Android interface is snappier than before. In the II3, the phone used to choke when you were moving the screens up, down and to the sides...
c) The browser is 2x faster than before. It used to take so many time to open a page and now, it's almost the same speed as my ipod touch.
d) The second biggest improvement (battery was the first) is the keyboard sensitive. I can write as fast as I can without any choking symptom.
3- I lost all my operator icons and apps... Thank God!
4- I strongly recommend the update for the Brazilians people. I can't tell you if your original firmware is equal to the Brazilians, but for us it was I huge step!
If you need a help to update yours, please let us know! I can now contribute to the forum!
