Got update alert and tried to update OTA via app manager but it said to update via OVI suite. So following on from some advice in another thread (I've got the modest patch), in x-term and logged in as root typed:

apt-get install --reinstall modest

It then listed out loads of packages to update, typed in "y" and off it went. Rebooted and my.. it does seem quicker especially mail , even in overclocked state (500-900 MHz, Ideal). Also had to update kernel-power & flasher as described elsewhere.

Nice...now to try out the ovi suite sync....
