-Newer OSes have a 10-second screen shutoff delay after going into keylock mode. On earlier OSes it shuts off in less than a second, which is far more practical.
-.73 doesn't have the problem of earlier versions where someone would call you and they wouldn't be able to hear you for several seconds.
-.73 doesn't have the multitap issue.
-.73 doesn't have the SMS message not queuing problem.

I think that's a good list of reasons not to upgrade.

I'm using the latest 4.2.2.108 and I don't have any one of those problems...
