Although I haven't had any application install problems with 3.2006.49-2, I noticed the wifi connection automatically turns itself off after a few seconds after closing the browser window. Not that big of a deal to me as I don't usually need it on after using the browser much anyway, but just wondering if anyone else noticed this happening to them as well.
All in all, the connection time is a bit faster than before, and page rendering and scrolling is much faster and smoother from what I can tell.
Oh, and I might be imagining things, but it seems like boot time is a bit faster also.
IMHO this is a quite reasonable behavior and saves me some clicks when I want to surf for a few minutes and then continue to use the device offline.

- Of course Texrat is quite helpful most of the time also.

=DC=, this is the default behavior in previous version; if it's there leave it, otherwise, connect, use, close.
But it's good to hear performance has improved; I assume you're sober, right?

Well, I don't drink or do any drugs (legal or otherwise), so I'd say that's a good sign of sobriety.

Bandit: Are you using 3.2006.49-2 on your 770? In other words: Can I take it that there's at least one person here who could install applications after upgrading to 3.2006.49-2?

On Maemo site (download/upgrade section, I can't remember), by providing your product ID (WLAN ID found under the battery), you can download the earlier versions. The process of changing firmware is the same.
