A diff between both binaries might reveal the answer.
I downloaded both files and did md5 check for them. They are same files and -17 version number on Nokia's website is mistake.

Hmmm... I'm a first time re-flasher, I didn't know that the Backup did not store all the Extras (ie. downloaded applications from maemo.org).

Perhaps the absence of release notes will give Nokia the benefit of 'voodoo' changes. I notice everything running a lot smoother (the first thing I did was reinstall about 20 apps). When typing the unit seems a lot more responsive. Is it? Or am I just imagining it? Either way, I perceive it so I'm happy. Opera chokes a lot less it appears though I haven't put it through the wringer.

I've been keeping an eye on the gripes and complaints... I'm truly starting believe that people won't be happy until they cram a full fledged laptop into the 770's form factor and it runs XP but the boot screen only says Linux. It's got it's problems, but I think they pale in comparison to the ones we're used to and have grown to accept on a daily basis. Like the fact once I rebooted my stupid XP box and had NO problems with flashing afterward. You can't blame the dog's tail if the head ate your slippers.

Can anyone else confirm that the shift key seems to stick when typing inside a browser window or the VNC viewer app. I was wondering it it was just a setting somewhere that I have missed, or is it a bug that has been introduced in this upgrade ?

It used to randomly stick for me: the letters on the keyboard would appear lower case, but the letters I typed would appear in upper case.

Yes, it's still enabled.

I agree. I am very happy with the update and this means Nokia is definately working hard on the 2006OS. This may be just one of those small updates to delay the release of the OS (Similar to SP2 and Longhorn delays for Windows ).

There is a thread under general on this site that has it. The one problem is that it says it will not install even though it does. You'll need to link the librarys.

Konttori-that was it. Once I re-installed the theme everything was happy again. I actually wondered if that might not be it this morning when I woke up( wonder if my sub conscious was working on it last night)

Restore works great.

Mental note-change themes next time before performing a backup!

My first opinions after flashing new image from Nokia webpage:
1. Browser is faster
2. PDF reader scroll faster
3. E-mails open snappier
3. more free memory (7 % more in case of my N770)
