Root should I update?

OK, I rooted the phone finally last night, I'm running the DK28 update that I thought was official at the time.

Anyway, everything works on the phone, I like being able to use the wireless tether if/when I want now, but I really don't know what improvements there have been since I manually updated the last time.

and I apologize if this question has been asked, but I read all 8 pages of this forum to see if there was something like my question and it may be my lack of focus right now, but I didn't see anything.

The last update I did to DK28 was just a file I downloaded and then I booted the phone into some "basic" mode and applied the update,,,,just wondering if there's something like that now, or if because I rooted it becomes more complicated.

You're going to have to use odin. Choose the EB13 tar file and your phone will automatically download the newest EC05 update.

sweet, I'll look at that, thank you, but my original question stands,,,should I update? I like the phone the way it is, but not sure if there are improvements that I'm missing out on

Definitely. The new syndicate rom is very fast and has no carrier IQ. I'd highly recommend updating to EC05.
