when you hold down volume up or down, it changes the volume much faster and smoother than in 1.1. when the 1.1 update came out, it got really choppy and slow.

I actually find App Manager far far faster than before.
To search you have to select the category you want then start typing on the keyboard. Search only seems to work with full words though so for example searching for "pecan" doesn't work as its listed as "(pecan)" in the title. Its still a huge improvement over before though.

Finally EAP-TTLS+PAP authentication for WiFi is supported. This is used in many universities worldwide.
Yay!
But you've to install an app called "wlan tool" to enable the EAP-PAP authentication because this functionality in PR 1.2 is hidden.
Now I can browse super fast in my University

I am getting missed call, message, and email notifications on the "slide to unlock" page (which is really useful). Is that PR1.2, or did I install an app that does that without remembering?

Does anyone else notice their n900 generally smoother?
Today switching between apps and such seemed faster, with less hiccups in animation. Also there was MUCH less hiccuping in my music as I was browsing a few websites with texts and pdf open in the background.
Another point, the pdf reader seems to open and switch pages faster, which is awesome...
Or I'm just imagining these things. Either way, I had a very good day with my N900...

one more thing about camera app that I haven't seen before - video resolution setting (high 16:9, medium 4:3 and low 4:3)
Application Manager is booting up quick now that I restarted the device. It just takes a bit to refresh the catalog or check for update, but I guess that's normal. It lags a bit after it finishes checking for update or finishes installing an app and shows that refreshing animation icon thing where the Application manager title is. I keep tapping exit but it takes a few taps before it completely closes. It's just not as "snappy" as I'd like it to be but I guess it's because it's closing connections and writing to the log (background stuff).
Let's see what other things.. oh yeah I tried to portrait mode. it's pretty neat. I just had to enable it in the options > setting > enable rotation.
The on-screen keyboard is well done. It's weird where the backspace key is placed though after being so used to using the physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It should be located at the most top-right like the QWERTY keyboard. Is there any way we can modified the keys ourselves?
