Nokia delivers OS2008 update.
The long awaited and highly anticipated firmware update has been released for OS2008 and is currently available for download for your N800/N810. According to the Maemo site, this update includes the Seamless Software Update feature so future updates should be available OTA and without the need to re-flash the device. Unfortunately this time around requires the need to re-flash the unit. A small price to pay for bug fixes and new enhancements. According to Engadget, the changelog is very lengthy. However, they do point out that the update includes the very long awaited replacement of the default e-mail client with one based on Modest (which is what I was using anyways).
Once my N810 is done charging, I’ll be performing the firmware update. As much as I don’t want to re-flash, it’s a small price to pay. Besides, I can start with a clean slate and re-load just the stuff I want. Werd to your firmware flash!
