I believe that is an old update I could be wrong, I am sure others will chime it, but if you plan to root as Jerofld mentioned, I would not update to be safe, and if your lucky and not on HBoot 1.50 then your life for rooting got much easier.

yep that is an old update

and like evryone said DO NOT ACCEPT AN OTA while you are rooted. it could do some really bad things to your phone.

it could unroot you and update your hboot which will close the exploit used. and this goes for any rooted phone. but luckily for us, htc has given us the ability to unlock the bootloader. but, it makes things more difficult.

here is the rooted version of this ota:
[ROM] --- Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2 Odexed & De-Odexed (10/2/11) --- - xda-developers
 
He said .3, that is .2, but I still think it is an old update
