I did follow them last time I did a firmware upgrade but this time I didn't do anything at all except backup contacts onto memory card and then do the firmware upgrade. No formats or master resets or anything
Seems everythig is fine so far!!

Well I think this is the best firmware yet. Fast, responsive, all my apps etc seem to work so I'm happy. I get 15MB RAM free at startup which isnt the most I've ever had but it'll do.

Just updated. Works a bit faster,a bit more memory, Internet browser more stable,and i think the audio static is a little bit less annoying (but it still is annoying).
All in all worth the wait.
And don't be scared by the first time you turn on the phone after updating. The boot takes more time then it took to build the pyramids. But the next one is as "fast" (
) as before.

This new firmware has subtle differences to the old one, but it's all been said.
I am slightly disappointed that Opera still devoid of shortcuts. There just isn't any good reason for it; M600 owners have it! I was looking forward to not having to mess around with Opera Mini anymore.
Oh well, maybe it'll be the next firmware.

Has anyone been able to find a feature that finally allows the phone to put into silent mode while in FO with a keyboard shortcut press only??
So far I have't had luck....

The restore worked pretty good for the Unified Inbox and multimedia and settings (FM preset stations were restored), but although slightly better than previous versions 3rd party application restore is still pretty shaky. Some applications including Worldmate came back decently whereas SMP never showed up - both were installed on the internal memory. Also a weird thing happened, there is an icon for World Fact Book (java app) but when I click on it Opera mini is launched! I will reinstall these applications.
Overall the restore was much less painful than before. Oh, and still no restarts or kern-execs
My ultimate test will be to use WLAN+RSS+Opera tonight.

If you press any key in fo mode, it goes to that letter in contacts, so I am guessing there is no shortcut. You just have to go through the little triangle at the bottom left.

Sweet update. Just updated my phone not a month ago, and now it's a new one.
The menus are much faster.
I also discovered that when entering PIN the numbers are turned to * almost immidietly, not like the old fw where I saw my PIN standing when I startet the phone.
The start-up bar is brilliant. The start-up time is improved. Much appresiated.
Minor changes to the icons in the menu, better pixeling.
I havent had a chance to test the rest of the phone yet, but so far I'm very pleased.
