not really. you can still use the nokia updater via a pc with less

Try restarting your device, or better, read previous posts.

I'm fairly sure I used to get this feature when I was using my T-mobile sim in my phone, finally switchewd over to the vodafone sim that I actually got with my phone at the weekend and don't seem to get the same notification. What network are you with currently? Has anybody else out there noticed this?

I'm having some problems with hildon freezing every now and then, and then just suddently crashes, I reboot and find that all desktop widgets/contacts etc. is gone. I add them again and same thing happens over again..

Anybody else experienced this or something similar? :/

A few people mentioned battery is worse. Perhaps they were playing with the device more after update. Any common consensus on this?

Using Nokia Updater will wipe all applications and likely their settings, make sure you backup your installed appliation list.

I tried to do OTA (USA), but it said this firmware version I must use Nokia Updater on PC and I used that. I just finished re-install all applications but
I lost all my 3 STARS score in Angry Brids

This is ridiculous. I've disabled all catalogs but for Nokia Applications and Nokia System Software Updates, uninstalled 14 apps, rebooted several times, run apt-get clean several times, gone from 43.5Mb in rootfs to 54.5Mb and I'm still getting this message:

"To update your device to this version of the operating system you must use the Nokia software update application on your PC. Connect the device to your PC via a USB cable and launch the application."

There's been no message about not having enough space.

I guess it's time to trash more apps. Thing is, some of them were a b*tch to install and get working properly (Debian w/Cups, etc.) for me (noob). This is my main reason for not wanting to go the NSU route.

Any advice appreciated. I'm tired of spending so much time on this. I know the risks about installing from the Extras catalog, blah, blah. Frustrated.

Just updated with NSU and everything went fine but all my applications are gone. This is something expected though. The phone feels faster. Let´s see how it behaves after a couple of hours.

Could anyone direct me on how to enable flash on the browser please. When I go to a site with flash I get this message saying JavaScript is disabled or Flash not installed.

Thank you.
