N900 – Firmware update 44-11

I’m sure anyone with an N900 is already aware of the firmware update that became available yesterday for download.

The talk on the www-vine is that this is a minor update in preparation for the major PR1.1 update which everyone has been eagerly awaiting. As of yet there is no Change-log for the update.

I have noticed that that my email is running slightly faster, and the most noticeable change is the new look in the Download section of the Application Manager. As you can see below we now have some nice icons instead of those ugly grey bottoms.

The other thing that we have noticed is that the ovi store catalogue paths have been added to the Application manager. On top of  this the Ovi Store is now open via the web browser for the N900 so head over and check it out for yourself.

This update is available using OTA or NSU.  I would definitely recommend using the OTA method, because using the NSU method will restore/remove some of your applications and/or settings.

My Friend Alex has also written a post about some people having issues with “no space on rootfs” if you having this problem head over and check out what he has to say.

Lastly is has been report that developers should be aware that the Red pill mode has gone.(join the talk.maemo.org discussion here)

Have you noticed anything else about the new firmware let me know?

So what are you waiting for update now…
