Updated this morning.
Everything's ok, although I can't really say that flash has improved. Viewing youtube videos now is even more difficult as videos will not load past 10 seconds. And pausing and resuming after full load does not work either.
Really pleased about the immeadiate lock. Also with the gmail notifier and camera app.

To be fair I thought I'd clarify something. When I upgrade the OS I did have a problem with the WiFi not disconnecting, or put offline when I want it to, which I did not have before that. It would not respond at all until I just shut off the machine. In the process of checking what could have caused this, I uninstalled OMWeather. I'm not saying OMWeather caused it, but after that, I have not have a problem disconnecting the WiFi. I wonder if the upgrade break any existing software out there. Anyway...it's back to normal for now.

I don't know how pissed I can really be about how assinine the update process is because so far mostly this thing is a toy. In the future Nokia better make it easier or I'm not buying. Yes, I've done some searching about how to back up. I've investigated the backup process on the Nokia. But really?! The back up utility doesn't back up applications?! So my choices are
1. Do the basic backup the device offers up and then do the probably simple backup using my xp computer. And then have to go download all the extra programs I have downloaded and now use like the calender ( and have to rewrite all the content in the calender)
2. or I could learn how to hack linux. NOT! Even if you tell me what to do I won't understand it because I won't know what you mean.
So right now even if I wanted to install this new firmware, it wouldn't be worth the hassle and risks involved.
just my 4 cents

But foolishly, I thought someone might be interested in the new behavior of softpoweroff.

Backing up the applications prior to the upgrade wouldn't guarantee the apps could be restored on the new version of the OS - there are a lot of dependencies which may not be satisfied by the new OS, and the best option is to reinstall from scratch.
Nokia are however working on allowing you to upgrade the OS without wiping applications, but reflashing from a firmware image will almost always wipe the device, which is actually a good thing in some cases!
One relatively easy option to make upgrading less painless is to create a web page containing one-click install files for all of your installed applications, I was able to reinstall all my applications within a few minutes using this method.

Hi,
After the OS upgrade, "Knips" (camera app) runs extremely slow. Still takes pics.
Thank you!
