So is this a good update or bad update?

Hmm... The performance of the media player ist much more better!
Before the update, mplayer was a lot smoother then media player, now media player works a lot smoother then mplayer(mplayer does not work in this release).
I tried a 512kbit 400x240 file, converted with MC. It has absolutely no tearing and very high framerate. Still no codecs, and still no VGA playback, but really usable.
I tested the speed of the SD card slot and there is no difference to the original firmware. I thought Nokia would improve SD/MMC speed, but they don't. Perhaps, next time...

After updating, everything (maemo mapper, GAIM, xterm, GPE PIM) works OK, but the dialup networking to Verizon has been hosed (even after re-editing the /etc/ppp/options file). The slower dialup through my ISP works OK.

The settings via the new icon weren't pervasive, and the behavior was flaky. For instance, if bluetooth was off it is supposed to be turned on when you select a phone for internet access-- and it didn't always happen. Right now it appears my complaints were solved... I just have new ones...
It's in bugzilla, so will be marked up as "Still broken"

Yeah, that was a separate bug, and I agree with you fully.
I also think the Connection icon should provide Add and Edit access-- I need to remember to submit that.

I have found that after I put it into host mode I am able to plug in the AC adapter without any worries. You just need to make sure it's connected, in host mode, and ready to go before you plug it in.
I'll do a side-by-side video (before and after the upgrade on YouTube videos) after work tonight.

There's a bug entry knocking around for this enhancement too...
