I wasn't able to download one single map. The download is horrendously slow and then justs aborts at around 10% saying that the connection to the server was lost.

Not a pretty all-in-one solution, but it works.

Tried the new version to sync between my N900, N95, OVI Suite, OVI, and Thunderbird.
Didn't turn out well.
Syncing the N900 to OVI Suite seems to duplicate come of my contacts (could this be the N900 syncing the un-merged contacts?), and when the sync goes the other way, it removed (admittedly with a confirmation) all of IM contact information from all my contacts (that's 200+ Facebook/Jabber/MSN entries).
That's quite a big problem. Either the N900 needs to properly merge IM-generated contacts into a single contact, or syncing needs to work with the merged contact, with updated fields working in the same way as they do when edited manually.
The syncing seems incomprehensible at times....contacts with the same name and phone number appear multiples times. That's pretty basic stuff!
....and don't get me started on the Thunderbird syncing. I get one sync before I then have to do another sync with it disabled before I can sync to Thunderbird again....and when it does I get even more duplicated contacts. *sigh*
Come on Nokia, phone numbers & email addresses are fairly unique items!

Support Personnel? I need to hire people to help me install this **** now?
Best part is, if i try to uninstall the old beta from my add/remove programs first (or whatever it's called in windows 7) it just launches the installer for the new one and fails to install again.
Oh, I only had to hit ignore twice, and now it's installed "successfully".
Well, I'm going to hook up my phone later and see if I can accidentally successfully screw up all the contacts or something sweet.

Well, i must say that the application is in the right track. Why? because its not like the older version where i have to install every single program leading to many icons, space, etc....It reminds me a buggy version of Itunes.
BUT there are many things that are just way too wrong:
Ill try to make a list of the bugs i've found.
HOME:
-There is no direct link to sync Calendar/notes.
-As mentioned before, messages sync not working.
CONTACTS:
-Not syncing all the contacts
-Same problem with the merged contacts
PHOTOS:
-Its a pain to find a photo, it takes hours to refresh the images
-There is no way to search for a photo
MAPS:
-Unable to download a map
-The Device has to be connected to download the map.
MUSIC:
-It's possible to search for an album/artist, but it's not possible to search for a specific song.
-There is no functional player. When i start to play a song its almost impossible to stop it! You have to find the song that is playing, right-click it and then stop. Come on, is it to hard to add the basic player buttons?
-LOL, i found the pause button, it is placed after the name of the song in the right bottom corner. When the song name is too long, it disappears. Still no back, forward buttons...
-There is no shuffle, repeat, or any other basic player's function.
-The Sync process is kind of dumb, it does not realize the songs you already have in the device.
CALENDAR:
-There is no included calendar.
-When you sync Tasks to the N900, it is not possible to see the Categories you have in Outlook (it would be nice to have the same colors).
-Its not possible to sync more then one calendar/tasks
Well, these are my complains, but i most say i am kind of happy to have at least an app to connect my n900.

They just released this so you can transfer to MeeGo device later.
Look at MeeGo development milestone, everything is so clear, with dates announced and so on. Look at the consistency and team, it's totally big difference with Maemo, where the best example is PR1.2

I must say that I am most pleassantly surprised with this update of the Ovi Suite.
Finally I can sync contacts from my N900 to the net and so finally I can start living the dream of not being constricted to the contacts on my SIM-card. Okay, it still has its hitches but all in all I'm really impressed now.
Viewing pictures wasn't too bad either and the option to easily share them to the Ovi Share service was really easy and quick.
A great step of progress!

Be aware that if you use it to sync your contacts, the IM account information will be stripped from them, and the next time you go online your IM contacts will be duplicated again. You will need to re merge them.
