The update is showing as available on my side, im on 02.

I believe the reason some folk in UK cant see the update is bcoz they are using the UK Firmware. Where as other folk such as myself have the Global version or US Version installed.
The UK update release isnt out yet according to http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_UK_variant_firmware

Then again its always gud to be patient in updating as sometimes a firmware update can lead to problems rather than do good.

Sorry, I don't know how to fix your provisioning problem. Would you stop bugging me about it?

btw update available in canada.

There used to be this game "Peter" who was in Marketing w/in Nokia - for the Maemo devices.

He is also available on Twitter but can't remember his twitter name as he mostly seemed like waste of space.

I'm sorry. (Yes, I was intimidated, so my apologetic self kicks in.)

I know it's just me, but I'm not quite used to reading a thread with problems that repeat every 1-2 pages -- I tend to have my hands itching to post something as if it's the be-all end-all. I guess I shouldn't post those kinds of messages anymore...

Seems to me that the / -footprints of most of the extras-repo packages are already quite small which suggests that most of them are optified. Of course, there are many other well justified reasons to avoid testing and devel.

Is there any chance to make a backup of the eMMC?
Thanks!

Just updated, everything went fine (crossed my fingers though, as i've had no backup, but it wasn't needed). Feels a little bit faster than the previous but no big changes.

I think you get a backup option while flashing.
