So is this a good update or bad update?

Seems to be both. ;)

Mhhhhh I think I am going to wait for a bit and see....

Thanks for the info.

Hmm... The performance of the media player ist much more better!
Before the update, mplayer was a lot smoother then media player, now media player works a lot smoother then mplayer(mplayer does not work in this release).
I tried a 512kbit 400x240 file, converted with MC. It has absolutely no tearing and very high framerate. Still no codecs, and still no VGA playback, but really usable.

I tested the speed of the SD card slot and there is no difference to the original firmware. I thought Nokia would improve SD/MMC speed, but they don't. Perhaps, next time...

After updating, everything (maemo mapper, GAIM, xterm, GPE PIM) works OK, but the dialup networking to Verizon has been hosed (even after re-editing the /etc/ppp/options file). The slower dialup through my ISP works OK.

Probably not the same Bluetooth bug, but the Bluetooth Status Bar icon still disappears if you turn Bluetooth off, meaning you have to dig into Control Panel to turn it back on. The icon shouldn't disappear if BT is turned off, the icon should appear gr[ea]yed out, or have a red line through it.

It's in bugzilla, so will be marked up as "Still broken" :)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Yeah, that was a separate bug, and I agree with you fully.

I also think the Connection icon should provide Add and Edit access-- I need to remember to submit that.

I really do think there are new application interference issues with this release. I'll provide updates on whatever I test.

I have found that after I put it into host mode I am able to plug in the AC adapter without any worries. You just need to make sure it's connected, in host mode, and ready to go before you plug it in.

I'll do a side-by-side video (before and after the upgrade on YouTube videos) after work tonight.

The Bluetooth and Connection icons should be combined, to be honest - two icons is a waste of space, and their functionality is very similar. Graphically representing the current connection state (eg. bluetooth + wifi) could be tricky but possible, given some imagination. :) There's a bug entry knocking around for this enhancement too...
