After flashing mine still gives me the "Enable RD mode if you want to break your device" message if I try to sudo gainroot, scrolling in Opera seems alot faster, and my clock is off by 3 hours like everyone else.

edit: just copied over /usr/share/zoneinfo like others have suggested and now the clock works fine. Now to decide if I really need ~2MB worth of timezone info.

This new image is FANTASTIC!!!!. As I have stated a few times here, I am a total average user who knows little about computers but wanted a mobile internet device to make internet access more convenient at home. I was very disappointed with the "first" software because I could not see my work e-mail (outlook web access did not work). Well not it works!!!! Thanks Nokia. I look forward to further improvements. To the extent the other computer geniuses on this site develop great software for me to buy or use for free all the better, but now I can use the 770 for what i bought it to do in the first place. No more paperwight!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you mean dropping wlan (bug 329), it is still there. Now with sound when connection drops. As if it weren't already annoying enough.

Cheers. And don't I feel a muppet. That's what I've got in /usr/share/zoneinfo/

Just wanted to add my experiences. I was very concerned about flashing my device, as I have limited knowledge with Linix, and for the most part was very happy with the way the Nokia was working. After flashing the device, everything works better than before. Streaming audio no longer buffers all of the ttime and no longer hangs when buffering. Opera seems faster, and my clock works correctly as before. I don't understand why so many of you are having problems, when someone like me (a newbie) seems to have none?! I am a Mac user by choice, and I know that Apple advises that before installing a major update, that one should remove any "haxies" that might interfere with the update. Could it be that some of the modifications made could be causing the problems with the update?
Anyways, thanks for all of the help that I get from you guys on this forum. Like the Mac community, Linux people are verry helpfull.
UPDATE: I used to have the device turn on during the late night hours, even after I had shut it down. Each morning upon removing the cover it would be on. Since update, it remains off. Worth the update.

OK, upgraded mine too. Bit painful setting up all the running on MMC and gain root access and enabling swap stuff again. Still haven't got VIM working right either but shouldn't be too tricky. It does seem a bit zippier overall.

Crap, as I said that it just rebooted!

I think web pages load faster. I have been working on mine and changing hosts today so been loading it a lot to test things and it does seem better. PDFs do seem faster to. And videos too I think.

I also now get that noise when you put the cover on with a connection open. Anyone else think it sounds like a new Cylon fighter!

Haven't played with it much more to see what else is different. As I noted earlier no NZ time zone (bastards!).

I wish there was some way to do a complete backup of everything so these firmware upgrades didn't take all day to get the device back how it was!

I am pretty happy with it though. Progress in the right direction. Can't wait for the 2006 update (which I imagine is a way off?).

By the way, the File Manager now opens MUCH quicker

I have root extended to mmc. Flashed the new image, intalled xterm, reran Root.sh and all except clock was as before (apps, bookmarks,...). Took about 10 minutes. Web surfing much smoother. I'm happy with the new image

I have root on mmc but probably don't have it all set up properly. I am a Linux noob I had to reinstall all my eBooks. What a pain! I guess I don't have installed files on mmc set up?

Kernel version looks same (2.6.12.3-omap1), only compilation date is newer. My old custom kernel with extended brightness control and pptp seems to work fine with this firmware.
