Does anybody know if there is any other difference between the two?
As far as I can tell, 'softpoweroff' no longer works properly. For me, it leaves the touch-screen alive and taking input [though blacked-out]. [Someone else reported it only allows tap sounds active in the new release -- but for me, it actually allows applications to be launched.]

The 'new' default 'lock touch screen and keys' does seem to do the same thing soft poweroff did BEFORE the upgrade, with the exception of the wake-up sequence -- exactly as you note. As a result, I have taken the 'softpoweroff' option back out of my power menu.

If "lock screen and keys" now works as "softpoweroff" before, why not bind "lock screen and keys" to "longpowerkeypress" in /etc/mce/mce.ini and we're back to where we were before?

Maybe I should skip this and wait version that has Skype. Its not nice install everything again..

If i understand correct, I need to set up every setting, email servers etc after upgrade.

It sure would be fun if N800 would run faster.

I wonder if an OS update will be needed in order to install Skype.

If you make a backup before updating, all settings will be copied during update process and everything went fine when I updated.

For me too, and I can easily qualify as a -almost- newbie. It was simple, clear, and even at the end of updating the system noticed a back up in the SD card and asked me if I d like to back up... that was nice!

Also, the system appears to be really ...how could I say... crisper? swifter?

It looks like this firmware fixed an issue I had with one of my 4GB SD cards! With older firmware the card data always got corrupted after a (short) while, but now since the upgrade it has been working great since. (The corruption happened with the modified SDHC kernel too.)

Other than that the upgrade was pretty painless: Mainly because now the backup can restore even the repositories, which before took most of the time to find url's and type in...

Also in general the N800 feels "snappier" than before.

All in all I'm happy!

Hi,

After the OS upgrade, "Knips" (camera app) runs extremely slow. Still takes pics.

Thank you!
