Battery life seems a little better now but all those badly written apps from OVI store suck the battery empty in no time. This stuff would have never made it through the extras-testing QA.

Tip: Don't open clock to have it run in the background and don't play solitaire for too long. :)

You are too optimistic and believe in software too much ("sir, we just fixed a last bug"). Taken into account the frequency of many strange spikes which I had with HAM (loss of package after deletion, for exam), I don't think that you are right here.

weird but i noticed that after the update my battery drains faster. I averaged 2 days of battery life before the update and now i barely get one day. I haven't installed anything else apart that themes from ovi store that i don't use anyway.

I noticed the same thing yesterday.

Me too, I don't have any hard data to back it up. But I remember when I got the device I left it connected over 3G to Skype, MSN, Yahoo overnight and had 2/3 of battery next morning. I did the same thing yesterday and I was at red line this morning. Both cases starting from full battery from ~11pm to ~8am

Software can be tested, debugged, and designed to a specification, users can't. HAM probably has bugs but i believe the solution is to diagnose and fix those, not assume that users are going to be responsible and careful when given unexpected and unfamiliar levels of control in a simple GUI.

... and root shell access, of course.

But to prevent usage of root shell at current stage of maturity there is the only way - give him some CONTROLLABLE way to play with "haaacking". Installation via red pill at least can be recorded to some log and requested later in case of trouble as minimum. If user can do something via GUI he will do it (unless he has an experience and familiarity with command line tools) and that is an exact way to keep situation under some control.

Work with root shell... well, dpkg/apt-get can be recorded too, but there are easy way to screw system if you have an open root shell terminal.

Didn't change anything before the setup and after. Before: all on -> about max. 8 to 10 hours. After: now reached the 1/2 level after about 13 hours online. This update worked for me. :)
