XDA Update - anyone do it?

Anyone attempt to install the latest XDA update for the Nexus One? Apparently address the 3G issue....

Leaked Nexus One firmware update packs more radio fixes Boy Genius Report

New Nexus One ROM leaks, fixes more radio issues? -- Engadget

I'm reading that you can do it w/o rooting but one poster said they tried it and lost all their messages and apps so I'm holding off to hear if any other non-rooted phones have this problem.

I installed the new radio the day it was leaked. I've never had the 3g problem though so it's still all good for me.

I never had the 3G issue either. But one thing I really notice since upgrading was the improved battery life. Before, I was getting around 14~16hrs a charge. Now it's more than doubled! It's been 15hrs since I took it off the charger and I'm at 64% now. ;)
