re the “the ability to use the handset in portrait mode” – only in browser at the moment

Not noticed any large differences but I am still learning my way around after a week.

The Ovi store worked well after the first update and there is another app that work in Portrait only, a calculator.

Possibly the GPS work better on the maps now, it starts a little way away then move closer but again I had not played with maps much before.

Downloading the update over the wireless network at home was easy though took at little time at 90 meg.

Looks like there’s been major improvement on the kenetic scrolling, as George mentioned above. Also there’s less cases of the tiny amount of lag I’ve come across when multi-tasking and switching/closing applications. Plus the system noises seem a fair bit more common (have to admit it keeps tugging my concentration with it’s beeps now!)

In general, it feels more responsive and more reactive, both sounds and input wise.

On the down side, the changes reset some of the settings I origenally had, those who updated, I’d advise a quick check of your profiles settings, mine seem to have been reset in the update. Easy to correct, and I suspect it was something clever behind the scenes that meant it had to be done, but the profile settings reset was a surprise to me at least.

Sweet Sweet portrait mode! For those wondering, hold Ctrl+Shift+’O’ for a second, it’s thus enabeled. Do again to disable.

does your fm transmitter still work after this update? mine doesn’t…
