Thank you of the new release. its nice looking UI.
The only big problem is that there is no voice at all.
Previous version worked well. I have booted the device and there was no help

If not, you can try different headphones, but I assume the ones you are using were those that worked before. The last thing to check would be the audio volume.

Seems odd. Why have a FM receiver if you can not use it out of the box? Seems superfluous.
Is it because the receiver is part of the chipset, but Nokia could not be bothered to provide a simple interface since they did not care it was there?
If the N900 is meant to be a marketshare gaining effort, they seem to be missing basic things that are being relied upon too much by aftermarket efforts.
Techies will care less, but Nokia is NOT going to gain share with this device only making the (very much appreciated) techies happy.

There is a feature you should work around. I had my N900 at work in silent profile. When I changed profile to normal then the radio worked as it should.
Nokia headphones with microphone gives quite bad voice quality other headphones work fine.

At least the N900 didn't fail on this.

Nokia knows that they now need developers, developers, developers. So they make the device appeal to the tech-savvy people before launching a Maemo 6 device to the mass market.

it seems mic is on while Radio is playing, that is the reason of worse quality than using ordinary headphone (all sounds around are translated over to headphones too)
Is there any way to turn off the mic while radio is on?

There is a mixer switch for setting the type of headet. The OS changes this automatically. Maybe forcing it from Headset to Headphones will help. We'll have to try.
You can play around with the mixer settings in X-Terminal with the command
But be careful to not enable any filter bypass switches there because sending unfiltered low frequencies to the speakers can damage them.

alsamixer -c0

I'm especially interested to hear from people who had problems with the FM receiver on the N900 so far if this new version fixes the driver problems, since the n900-fmrx-enabler has been updated as well (the app manager pulls the update automatically when you update the FM Radio app).
Also, if I add a station and then press the * button it goes into a screen showing that station and no way to back out.

Well, silent profile is supposed to be silent.
