impressive!

have noticed:
- feels snappier...
- handwriting input seems to be useful now...
- that bad bug with the virtual keyboard fixed..

but the old bug - 'close one window -> browser crashes and all windows are gone' is still there :-(

Strange - maybe I was too enthusiastic about the new release.

I'm quite sure I cleared the cache 2 or 3 weeks ago and did a comparison minimo/opera afterwards, with opera still crashing on derstandard.at. I also don't think they changed the site. But: derstandard.at includes a lot of ads in the most unusual places. Maybe crashing or not with opera depends on which ads (and how many of them) are there? Could be...

Has anyone else noticed a failure to access memory cards? It's showing that there's no card inserted.

Edit: Nevermind, just needed a reboot.

finally, as promised in the release notes, handwriting recognition appears to be much more reliable to be nearly usable! Not as much fastas the keyboard but almost...

The results of an intensive hour of tests: Opera crashed a lot more than before I was trying to access to the garage / app catalog to add again the repos (that the bacup didn't save )

And now it even won't connect to either my gmail account or my wife's

already thinking of flashing back the old image!

I backup my repository list by opening up an xterm, gaining root and copying everything in /etc/apt/ to a directory on the mmc card and then copying the sources.list file back after reimaging the device.

To copy it back after reimaging, you will need to reinstall becomeroot (or become root via some other means) and then install an xterm. I keep the .debs for most of the common programs I use in a directory on my mmc card, but it is nice to have the repositories in place for updates.

It took me about an hour and a half to rebuild my 770 to backup, flash and restore/reinstall all my apps. It would be really, really nice if Nokia provided a more comprehensive backup option...I am used to my HPC devices, which had the capability of doing a complete reimaging/backup restore in the field in a matter of minutes. The convenience on my Jornada 720 and Netbook Pro of being able to revert back to a "known good" config in a matter of minutes was a HUGE advantage for me.

No flash update [still v.6], No Google Talk update [file transfer? voicemail?], No significant Opera update [so it's a little faster], No Java [what will it take Nokia?].

All the improvements were minor with the exception of the web browser being a bit faster, and I'm still not sure how much of that wasn't because it cleaned the cache.

It wasn't really worth the time to get everything back to normal. Wake me up when we get an update that has a little more meat to it.

With such gushing release notes,
I wonder if I am really missing much by not flashing....
Things are just so fine with my current OS
I don't see the point!!

Btw. does anyone else have to regularly restart opera because links stop working?
