morning all.

I just got the thing yesterday and am yet to update to the new firmware, last night I went to update it via wifi and found the application manager is failing.. When you open it, it sits there for about 5 seconds then displays "operation failed". It won't let me update the firmware or install or uninstall anything. this happens using 3G or wifi. I can access the catalogues but nothing else! it says "no applications installed" i've barely touched the thing yet now it's dead in the water! very very disapointing.

anyway here is the copy of my log

hildon-application-manager 2.2.52.2
