There were ways of doing it before you reflashed, but I believe this firmware contains an Application Manager which will do this from now on.

The built in backup application will backup app settings for most things, including some 3rd party applications, but the applications themselves will have gone poof after an upgrade. Reinstalling the application will usually bring it back with all settings intact. The backup application also backs up your repositories list, making it fairly easy to reinstall applications.
Still, the way they do releases is less than ideal. It typically takes me a couple hours to restore my system to the way I like it after doing an OS upgrade. They really need to switch to package managed releases instead of ONLY the embedded image way of upgrading that they use currently. They should still offer each as an embedded image, so that if someone has royally hosed their system, they have something to fall back upon, but it has long been possible to do an upgrade in place on Linux based systems. I have several Debian and Ubuntu boxes that have gone through several major OS revisions over the years without needing to rebuild the systems one bit.

Ok now, I'm really getting frustrated here.
Everyone says that in the Application manager you can update your apps.
I say not for me.
When I am wireless, I try to go to Maemo, Opera stalls it dosen't load garage section of maemo.
When I go to YouTube everything is OK.
But the video stream is still choppy. UKtube will be installed soon.
I restarted my router(linksys B wireless), just incase it doesn't understand the new firmware of the N800.
I am still having the same problem, some websites don't load.
Skype installed and working perfectly.
Is there anyone else having Wireless issues, or is this just limited to Canadians only.
Regards Robert

Sorry, had to make fun of my friends down south. Actually I've been having problems with the stock Nokia repositories the last couple of days.
