maemo.org - Talk - PR1.3: users, was it worth the wait?

not only that, it still uses the old hildon desktop. The main bugfix that i really noticed was the pulseaudio i have to admit nokia did a good job on that. lets hope there are more to come.

The only good thing is snappier (better RAM and CPU cycle management) and Pulse Audio, this is what it should have been since the beginning for the N900.
I'm quite surprise that there isn't any changes to the leaked version of the OS.

It seems like the leaked version was the only packaged version of OS. I thought we are expecting something better than the beta testing image, so I reflashed it back to PR1.2 and waiting for PR1.3 via OTA but quite disappointed that PR1.3 is pretty the same as the leaked PR.PE version. Lol wasted me a lot of time and Gigs in downloading over 140apps back onto my N900.

It is not worth waiting at all. Disappoinment is the only word that popped up in my head.

Self-induced disappointment from overblown expectations is your own fault :p

It was leaked so closely to the current image's release that I suspect there wouldn't have been time for any.

Yeah ahh was any of the main issues solved? Like the "Hildon Bug." It may be to soon to know but the "Hildon Bug" is a thorn in the N900!

Re: PR1.3: users, was it worth the wait?

Purely subjective, but
a) I haven't noticed any audio stutter so far. The litmus test will be installing a new application while listening to something.
b) mail is faster
c) upgrade process was easy. remove offending extras-devel package which prevented the update, update via application manager, re-install power-kernel, reboot. All working as before.
d) transitions seem to be smoother

ps Nokia really disappointed me with this update because I was expecting it to upgrade my N900 to four cores and 8GB of RAM
