I have upgraded the ROM. It went smooth. The upgrade erases all of the
data on your device. The data on the card is fine. I'm not sure about
the programs on the card, if any. There is a backup program, Sprite
Backup (http://www.spritesoftware.com/) that claims to be able to
restore your stuff even after a ROM upgrade. I've never used it so I
cannot tell you how well it matches the claims.
The bottom line is this, be prepared to reload everything back on to
your device. It will be as if you just took the device out of the box.
