For what it's worth, I was impressed by how smooth the upgrading was.

Backup - download flasher and firmware from Maemo - flash - restore - done.

So far, the only place I've found where settings appear to have been lost is GAIM. Everything else seems to carry on seamlessly from where it was before.

Video is improved, as advertised, i.e. no (or at least much reduced) tearing. I haven't yet tried playing a video for longer than about 10 minutes, though, to see if that now works.

The camera app is nice - although I wish they would have made the Select button take the picture, as well as the touch screen button.

I didn't much change in snappiness, but I thought it was snappy before the upgrade anyway.
