Is there a new dual boot for this firmware? Don't want to even try the new version without it.

I cant seem to install GAIM again, it gives me a message saying it is not supported. Im guessing we have to wait for a newer version for the recent firmware.

After updating the OS, I installed GAIM without problem using the following repositories:

Repository: http://maemo-hackers.org/apt
Distribution: mistral
Component: main

Repository: http://repository.maemo.org
Distribution: mistral
Component: non-free

I have only used the AOL protocol, but it works fine.

I also had the same problem but found that it went away after I changed the desktop layout using "Edit Layout".

Considering the problems users experience, I'd say the update process needs some work. Admittedly, it is a Linux platform, so hacks (seem to) prevail. But considering the N770 and certainly the N800 beat every UMPC-attempt (hardware-, size- and feature-wise) out there, and as such is a sound choice for end-users-not-hackers, it definitely needs work.

Why do we need a secondary pc for this??? Why not directly from the device itself??? Not very convenient, and convenience is all this device is about.

You need a second system because you have to be out of the initfs section of the device to flash it.

I did the update and all my software works well, Canola, Omweather (still have to manually update), Rapsody, Claws mail, minimo, Gizmo. I haven't tried the VPNC yet. The system is quicker and seems more responsive.

I am an "end-user" kind of person not much into code/terminal level hacks and I think the update went quite smoothly, at least smoother than my failed attempt at a Vista upgrade. I don't have SDHC cards so I am quite happy with the new firmware.

I would recommend it to everyone apart from SDHC users (obviously). There are enough fixes on it to make it worth while.

I was able to reinstall GAIM. All appeared to go smoothly. Specifically: maemo-gaim, maemo-gaim-data, maemo-gaim-locale-en-gb, maemo-gaim-protocol-irc and maemo-gaim-protocol-msn.

When I try to use it, however, I find that IRC doesn't work; something about "protocol not installed". MSN seems fine.

Has anybody noticed certificate errors in the browser?
Go to http://www.maemo.org/ and click on the "Garage" tab... I get a popup "This site has sent an untrusted certificate", "Certificate cannot identify the server". Doing the same thing in Firefox on a PC works fine.
