I am much more familiar with the "windows" environment so that is one thing that hinders my toying too much with my phone.
You wouldn't think the change to MEID should affect OS upgrades, but it does. You must make sure any upgrade is for the 8330m.
What version are you running now?

what came with the Curve 4.5.0.77
I had been made aware of the 8330m issue thankfully prior to even attempting an "upgrade". I .138 is the "newest" one I have seen anyway.

Some were experiencing a lag when trying to come out of the sleep mode and this update appears to correct that. If you aren't having any issues then there is no rush to upgrade. There aren't any new features, just bug fixes I think...

The issues I do have are minor and an os update is not required but I would have loved to try the leaked BBM 5.0 which seemed to require at least .131

If there isn't much difference, I'll think I'll wait until something comes on that makes it worth the risk.

I am much more conservative in my approach to this blackberry...I can understand your position.
