The main noticeable difference is the improved responsiveness in desktop swiping and kinetic scrolling.
Email and web are also much quicker.
In PR1.2 I also found I was missing calls when the phone App took too long to appear.
After installing PR1.3, the first test I did was:
1. Set the phone App to Portrait mode
2. Close the phone App
3. Play a video file
4. Rang the N900 while the video is playing
5. Phone App appeared right on the first ring with no glitches
Much better than in PR1.2.

Ok, we all know Maemo is kind of dying.
However besids bugfixes these are the 5 things I think would be the biggest improvement for me to make the N900 the perfect phone.
#1 Differend volume settings for at least ringtones and rest
#2 A back button visible in mircorB fullscreen mode
#3 Add to playlist, remove from playlist in media player
#4 A scroll bar for or quick links http://maemo.org/community/brainstor..._address_book/ (scrolling through 5000 images or songs requiers a lot of flicking)
#5 if Flash 10.1 would actually enable me to watch flash videos it would be nice.
What are your 5 (somehow realistic) wishes?
Markus
Anyway, even If It's dying; Can you explain how is different volume settings or back button on fullscreen gonna save it?

You forgot FREE voice navigation. Without it, the N900 will always be below the Android phone...let alone iphone.

No, but does this forum really want yet another post *just* like this? We've only just had a firmware update - be happy for a bit and be patient. There's some brilliant development going on in the community here - there's loads of good things coming, and not necessarily from Nokia.
Oh and yes I forgot the 'open in new window' thing, that is annoying to me too, generally if i open something in a new tab or window in this case it is because I want to carry on reading the page I'm on while the new one loads. So either a setting in microb or another menu option in 'open in background' would be good. or even ctrl-click to do that.
(Or maybe I shouldn't have said all that and hope that it will just appear magically through telepathic signals in someone at Nokia's head)

What software are you using for managing your photos on your PC (and, on what OS/distro)?

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:47.
What I would like on/regarding N900 that only Nokia can provide:
-Better Ovi Maps
-Ovi Suite on platforms other than Windows (really, if you have a Meego netbook and a Nokia Meego phone, shouldn't you be able to load maps?)
-USB host mode in default kernel
-Be able to filter on different/custom tags in photo viewer
-Fix existing bug filed about geotagging issues when no data connection available, but GPS is available with more accurate fix ...
