Managed to upgrade both of my units.
After reading a lot of complaints about the flashing process,
I very carefully cleaned out some of my applications
to give about 75mb in rootfs.
This allowed the process to run from the stock application manager.

I am still looking for problems but so far none to report.
Battery appears to be a bit better maybe,
but the reports we see may just be subjective wishful thinking
until we see some actual numbers.
I suspect the battery life may be better due to better cpu management,
which conky seems to show.
Wish I had done some tests defore upgrading to confirm,
but the idea that battery life would improve seemed a far-fetched hope.

Anyways, so far so good. email, messaging, applications and phone functions all seem ok here.

Hope yours all works out as well.
Cheers

It then complains about unmet dependencies:

Depends: libsdl-mixer1.2

I've removed that but it still complains. Reinstalled it after that but still no luck. I have version 1.2.6-5+0m5+

Edit:

I disabled extras repository, removed it and retried. This time it worked Thanks.

Big thanks to Rob1n & raaj13 for supporting me on this, your advice worked, now happily restoring back-up

i installed pr 1.3 from the app manager, installed correctly, rebooted, everything is normal, the things ihve noticed is that is a lot smoothers, bit faster, bit better battery usage, no problems atm, except for the flash, the tweaker doesnt work, but atm thats the only problem in pr 1.3 for me

I didn't have any trouble during the update but I have been having problem being heard correctly while making a call since then.

The problem doesn't occurs all the time but it seems that people can't hear me well, like if I had a bad reception, though I have full bars. On the other hand, I can hear them perfectly.

Did anyone experience the same issue?

Hello, I updated yesterday and everything went well. However, while fixing the extra conversations plugin (bonjour & co.) that never wants to install, I did an apt-get and noticed that it said 20 packages weren't going to be updated. I decided to do :

apt-get update
apt-get -u dist-upgrade

and it is wanting to remove 404MB of stuff....is it trying to uninstall the upgrade?

Thanks

Hi Akiszel, You have to go into your application manager and search for it under "All" and check your catalogs. Tell me what you have.

This was by far the smoothest update ever. No complaints about anything not even requirement to plug in power and so PR 1.3 was in. Apparently there are no big changes but according to the list of corrected bugs a couple of really annoying ones are fixed. And my device seems to be pretty slick now.

if it removes u may not be able to boot and may need to reflash

Why is there no clear changelog or news page just this long trashy forum?

I suggest if the developers CAN'T DO THEIR ****ING JOB PROPERLY FIRE THOSE FILTHY FUKS!

Did you at least put an option into the goddamn chess when to turn off the ****ing backlight?

Do the maps are downloadable for N900 finally?

No I don't think so. I don't see any changes and I don't think the system is faster so FU.

And ovi suite sucks ballz too, everyone crying about it. You aint do nothin...
