Some comments on the OP are harsh, most firmware updates come with something new as well as bug fixes, but once again the comments and tags written by fanbois continue to support crap and slag off anyone that dares go against the sacred and mighty Nokia. (cue sound effects of choirs and angels and dramatic pause) "Ooooh... Nokia."

I really couldn't honestly tell you if anything has improved after PR1.3. Battery life, eh? Mine still lasts the same with light use, no improvement. Media player still stutters if I reply to a text while playing music, I can't get ANY ring tone to work for SMS and it now has given up and just vibrates. I had custom rings tones installed but that wouldn't select any Mp3, instead just defaulted to whatever was set, I uninstalled that and now the default ringtones won't ring half the time as the phone app can't be bothered. The device for detecting which way the phone is balanced plays havoc with both internet and phone use, throwing it to landscape and portrait without me moving my hand. The N900 simply can't multitask beyond the basic definition of the word. All the missing features are still missing, tracker-index still chews 80+% of my CPU and and looking at my battery graph I am still losing ten percent of my battery for each half an hour of using the 'freoffice' word editor to simply read a document..

The only thing improved with 1.3 is the amount of abuse people get from the community in saying that it was pants and not worth it.

On a happier not, I would say unlike some unfortunate people I had no issues whatsoever in updating using the normal wi-fi and download route. So that was a good thing, at least I don't have to reflash or anything.


ROFLOL ha ha ha

Yeah good luck with that.
