The lag between pressing the shutter button and the camera taking a picture means you always lose the shot.
I found there is no lag time in the shutter. Try pressing the shutter button and then move the camera, you will notice that the picture you framed will be capture not the picture in the frame when you hear the "shutter click". I am not defending this beta program.

I wish you were there too! I also wish Nokia would consider a public Beta in future, with the ability for users to provide feedback prior to a final build release. It would go a long way to improving firmware quality.
It sounds like there are a lot of somewhat to completely disappointed users here, am in the former group. How can we as a group get this message to Nokia and request a formal reply besides venting here on the forum with hopes Nokia is reading it?

What about drawing up a formal letter/petition listing the most troubling problems with positive suggestions? I would love to write it but as you can tell I did not get A's in composition. What I would like to see in the letter/petition is N800 team release betas and/or request feedback.

Food for thought.

I can freeze the unit with the new OS. Just start OMWeather and try to update. The whole unit freeze up.

Anyone else have problems like this.

When I had omweather, my n800 wouldn't disconnect from wifi unless I shutdown.

Agreed, and having reverted to 51-6 via built system on SD card, excepting the new kernel, no reportable and/or repeatable issues with that configuration.

Also agree that public beta would serve well, however, I get the impression that there was no internal test by testers isolated from the code worked on and that should be done prior to even serving it to us to beta.

The freezing, and in my case (stuck in reboot loop) may depend on if data can be being gathered and if it is all valid.
I was using CapeCoral Florida as the weather site and one day started getting no data for future days. (4 days out, and then 4 and 3 days out, and then 4 & 3 & 2 days out) When the days that had weather data passed, It was reboot city until I did a boot in R&D mode and cleared the flags.
I dont know if weather app uses a central weather data repository or gets it direct from a participating weather station.
It would also be cool it if could get Weather Bouy data.
