I like it over all...

although I still can't access the Ovi store... says I need to go to AppMan and upgrade Maemo... which is silly because I just did.

What were you expecting? Seriously!

Definitely an improvement!

Running at 1150 xlv swap at 30, transitions all down to 5 and this thing flys!
So much more responsive than before.

Tip: Turn screen press click and vibration off. Not having pulse-audio constantly making silly noises makes alot of difference.

iphone beater right here folks

You wouldn't happen to have changed the browser's user agent did you? If so that's the cause.

i m a lil bit confused on the QT thing. with the update, does it mean we can use Symbian apps now??? or we will be able to in the near future???

4. Flash 10.x (Android has it, I think)

Hopefully the new QT4.7 will speed up these features being adding later.

Looks like you were hoping for a totally different phone than the N900, buddy

I updated via ovi last night, mostly OK but back down to only 4 home screens. Has anyone seen an official change log for pr 1.3

I predicted about six months ago that this upgrade would be anemic. It met my expectations.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't tell the difference between an N900 that was upgraded and one that was not. That wasn't true of PR1.2.

LOL, is it that obvious?
I gave my Nokia 5800 to the wife.
I wanted something with physical keyboard and not Symbian with faster CPU and GFX.
Which I got with the N900 and am happy with.
Just wish some of the other phone functionality was there too.
Cant have everything I suppose.

Well, might be just my head, but it really seems to be faster...especially the browser (gmail is opening really quickly...) and the media player, who used to lag when playing first time...will have to use it more often to confirm it...also, might be just my impression, but pictures taken by the camera seem to be clearer...but this one I can't really compare right now...should have taken some pictures before updating...
So even though there isn't any new features, the performance improvement more than makes for it
