The new OS is great! I've used N800 since April and the upgrade feels like a whole new device. Fast and responsive. I love the new themes with transparency. I have the Navicore kit that I upgraded to Wayfinder. Tomorrow I'll be testing it on the road with voice guidance and all.

As for the apps I kind of settled on the built in ones plus handful of third party and web for everything else (mail, calendar etc.). The apps I find indispensable: FBReader, Evince (haven't installed it on OS2008 yet), MPD Client for Meamo, Vagalume and now Canola 2. The new built-in media player with directory of streaming servers is awesome.

I wish there is a solid solution for remote music streaming ala Orb or Webot (maybe someone has a good solution?). I don't find current web clients much satisfactory. I tried MP3Tunes desktop applet but it never worked for me and had a nasty habit of wiping all the other desktop applets away.

Since Mythv is my main media center I was very excited with the effort around GMyth but I'll have to give it another go since I've never been able to get it to work. I'm looking forward to the Video Center again and what features come next.

The repo situation was a bit out of control for the last couple of days, but nothing to lose sleep over.

Overall, very good upgrade.
