After a day of use I am feeling that my N810 has received a serious tune up! System performance is a bit faster but the browser, has received a big boost. Scrolling and flash performance have been great for me as I moved through wifi and DUN connections alike. Given the amount of time I tend to spend in the browser, I am very pleased.
The email client has been updated quite substantially as well. While I’ve been using Modest since it was initially released, having it as the default system preference is great. IMAP performance is stellar on my gmail account and the settings wizard certainly makes it easy to get going very quickly. My only nit is that there is still no support for graphics in HTML mail which renders very well otherwise.
I noticed some excellent updates to the Applications Manager also which now not only proactively reports that updates are available, but can also update multiple things at once. I look forward to putting this to a more serious test when the next OS update hits and I don?t have to reflash my device.
As to be expected with any update there are a few bits worth watching for like repositories that are now seeking Diablo when Chinook might still work. I’ve just tweaked the Mauku repository setting and have that back running without issue.
All told this seems like a great step forward for our Nokia Tablets. With non-destructible firmware installed we can finally start moving more mass. Though I’ll still probably have to help my dad update things on his N800 …
While many still question the need for a device like the Nokia Tablet the converted, like myself, see no way but up for this platform.
