Firstly, I understand that upgrading the firmware in the N800 increases the speed of the CPU. I don't understand why Nokia did not set the speed to 400mhz in the first place, rather than limit it to 320mhz. Also, it begs the questions.. is it is possible to run OS2007 @ 400mhz, or even OS2008 at (say) 480mhz. (I'm assuming clock frequency is software selectable for sake of argument, I don't know if it's a FSB multiplier, or anything else - I'm not a hardware guy!)

But the real reason for this post is to say that the zoom function on my N800@OS2008 now appears to be slower than it was on OS2007. So I'm not even sure that it really is running at 400Mhz anyway. Everything else is just as quick, and so speed differences are not noticable.

Flash movies (Youtube) seem to run much faster, but that maybe the flash 9 update. But ordrinary movies seem to run about the same speed.

Maybe I am expecting too much from a 25% speed increase?

Any thoughts?
