That's the one from November; the one many people reported sucky things going on with it.

brilliance.

as for wlan connectivity and certification being the only things listed in the release notes, i don't see myself hurrying to reinstall everything. I've not had any wlan issues. and, the release notes say "a selection of...". where's the full list?

Unfortunately there never has been a full list of changes for any firmware release. But crying for ChangeLogs seems to help as there at least are release notes there. For the first or second time...

Nope, the one from November is ITOS 2006.39. This is ITOS 2006.49.
At least it says so in my web browser.

Actually, it might be a new build. The numbers in the filename 2006.49-2 correspond to the build year, build week and build sequence - year 2006, week 49, build #2.

Using the previous release 2006.39-14 as a guide, Nokia released this build to us on 4 November yet week 39 is late September 2006, so Nokia allowed 6 weeks of QA testing to elapse between the build and release dates.

This new build, 2006.49-2, was created in the first week of December 2006, so if you allow another 6 weeks for QA (plus maybe another two weeks for Christmas + New Year holidays) it would be due for release right about now.

I'm not going to bother upgrading to it as I don't have any issues with my WiFi

Gosh, that's *some* Changelog :-)

Maybe there's a hundred other little undocumented improvements lurking in there that would be worthwhile.
But as someone who doesn't particularly have problems with Wifi (doesn't seem to be what reboots my tablet :-), I don't feel compelled to spend hours reinstalling all my stuff just for that (especially if the upgrade induces *other* problems, you never know :-)...

No no-- I wasn't referring to YOU. It was a general statement, although some others have chosen to make sarcasm and pointless ridicule their modus operandi...

I'm sure Daniel has very good intentions by asking 770 users to post their issues on his blog, so he can forward them to Nokia, but I thought Bugzilla was there in the first place for that reason.

It can provide all Nokia needs (I'm sure Nokia folks know that); so, I don't think the issue is not knowing the bugs, but willing to address them.

BTW, call me naive, but I feel very uncomfortable with this OS2006 update; there are no meaningful fixes in it, but yet Nokia folks can use it to claim that 770 is alive and well supported. The timing is also excellent.

Isn't it weird that we have fix for WLAN while no one (apparently) had major issues with the existing driver, but many old but serious problems are ignored?

I think you may have a good hunch with this...

Low hanging fruit perhaps. Or a fix already underway before the other issues were discovered. No conspiracy here, move along...
