To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question - maemo.org

I am new to all of this. I just got an 800 last week.
Common sense says let those of you who know what you are doing deal with the beta testing. YET that part of me that craves instant gratification is tempted. PLEASE HELP

I would say not to upgrade, just yet. Because, right now, OS2008 is still beta software and is therefore not completely completed

. Also, some of your apps probably aren't working on OS2008. I think...

Then again, I'm not yet a user

I did it today and told myself not until more apps are out. But I got curious and decided if I couldn't get it working I would go back. So far the only problem was pairing with my cell phone / bluetooth but after a few tries, I got it to work.

I think its great. Everything is more stable and no crashes with the browser. I think the other posters problems have to do with restoring from backup.

SEARCH there are at least 2 dozen threads with feedback on OS2008. The feedback's there, and we've already arrived at a verdict. Use your eyes (and your fingers).

I've also started a video series over on Tablet-Guru.com showcasing OS2008 running on the N800.

I'm holding back with the upgrade a leeeetle bit longer. For example, I would like to know if someone has come up with a solution for how to program MicroB to use the D-pad up/down as page up/page down.. until that's fixed I'm extremely reluctant about losing Opera.

Maybe you should try to see the about:config parameters of MicroB

is there an actual solution to this though? I'm missing configuring the D-pad on my 770 with OS2007HE/microB as well and have yet to find a solution.

And scrolling through the about:config isn't really an option since its quite slow and laggy
