I made sure there's enough room in rootfs, disabled the additional repos I had used extensively and proceeded with the OTA upgrade. No problems encountered. Only had to redo my own HW keyboard tweaks that were overwritten and re-enable the repos. I'm typing this on my fully functional N900 now.

For me, the update was what I was expecting, I had the opportunity to play with Android 2.2 Froyo on a Nexus One this days, and men, the thing is bloody fast!! When I realise that, inside I was tempting to buy and Android phone, like the Motorola Milestone and update it, BUT, that same night while I was talking to my friend and playing with his Nexus One, Nokia was releasing the PR1.2.

I install it.. oops, sorry, FIRST, I bricked my N900:rolleyes: and later that night I finally could see the "so expected" improvements, my phone runs so fast that the Android 2.2 is maybe 10% or 5% faster, but the N900 is more EASY, run multipple app is fast, switch between those IS FAST, browse the web with flash IS FAST!

On the Nexus One even with Android 2.2 Froyo and flash 10.1 installed on it, when you browse a page with flash all the way on the page, it slows down so big that it seems like you are on Internet Explorer on a PC without having video drivers installed.

People, don't complain! Don't be afraid to update it, it is a step up.:) GOD Bless You ALL!;)

New features in PR1.2:
Portrait-orientation Browser officially (and unofficially in other apps)
Internet Video Calling (Skype/Gtalk) officially
e-Mail Widget on Desktop
New Virtual Keyboard
Customizable App Menu

Plus lots of bug fixes.

New apps will be written targeted for PR1.2 (already have for last couple months); so, if you don't upgrade, your possibility to install new things in the future may decrease.
