This and the inability to rearrange icons in the menu are the only real issues I encountered. Rearranging icons is still a problem, not solved by removing the battery for a hard reset.
Great!!
Theres nothing like having to modify a config file to be able to sort a list.. makes me feel all linuxy.
Just so that anyone wants to set the sorting in the application manager as Alphabetically and in A-Z order.
1. open terminal
2. vi ~/.osso/hildon-application-manager
3. <click i to be able to modify text>
4. change package-sort-key to -1
5. change package-sort-sign to 1
6. click the Esc icon on screen
7. Enter :wq and press enter
