OS2008 update is awesome!
If you own an N800 or an N810, I highly recommend performing the firmware update that was announced on the Maemo site. I performed the update shortly after yesterday’s blog post and have to say that this is much more than your standard minor bug fix update. The default Modest e-mail client rocks (bye bye crappy default e-mail client of the past!), the unit is running a lot smoother and quicker than it did on the day it first arrived, and the web browser is a lot more stable than it previously was (haven’t had any of the freezing or stuttering issues I used to). You do not need to worry about anything stored on either the internal or external memory card. None of that data will be touched during the process. But if you have data that you need stored to the device’s RAM, make sure you have it backed up. I chose to not back up my user data before flashing because some of my stuff like my contact list needed a cleanup anyways.
I’ll be spending a good amount of time over the next couple days reloading all my favorite applications again. I’ll report any stability issues that are found. Go Diablo!
