THINGS IT DID NOT FIX (for me)

n900 doesn't play videos it recorded! LMFAO

still takes for ever to scroll through images

camera still shoots hazy quality pics.


how did it work for the rest of you?

It still doesn't do my laundry.

lets file a bug report!

ill vote for it.

The Good:
- definitely snappier
- access photos much faster
- contacts with sms-only button for mobiles
- love love love the new Ovi Maps

The Ugly:
- not all attachments come through on emails
- wish for an easier, more permanent way to merge contacts

So I am happy. I am sure there a ton of behind-the-scenes stuff, but I am pleased. And with the recent overclock I am overjoyed!

There is an app in extras or devel, that adds an "search for duplicated contacts" button to the contacts menu. Not the ultimate solution, but quite neat.

Other threads haven't discussed these pluses and minuses?

The BIG thing the update did is make the rootfs problem almost completely go away.

I just wish I could get it. Every time I try to update I keep getting not enough space message when I have 1.7 gb avl for applications.

Probably you don't have enough rootfs space, which only takes 45 or so mb. There is a wiki article about how to free up rootfs space, but you might be able to solve it by disabling your extras-devel and extras-testing catalogs in App Mgr.

An alternative is to flash the new firmware (be sure to back up first). There are many threads about how to solve this problem. It is unfortunate that this process can have as many pitfalls at it does. It's fundamentally quite easy, but understanding what you need to do exactly isn't as easy as it should be.
