    Already installed it, looks nice. Flash Lite 3 confirmed, i’ve been doing somo Youtube from the desktop version, and to tell you the truth, I prefer MobiTubia. I believe its great to have it directly in the browser and also it simplifies a lot, to see a video right there when you are reading a post on some blog, but it would be the same to just open Mobitubia without closing the Browser and search for the video and play it. Its faster(the page you are on gets kinda laggy to move around when watching the vid on the browser) and a lot smoother. Also, the browser version sacrifices some real estate for the status bar below which cant be removed so its not even an actual fullscreen version.

    As of the rest of the niceties of the firmware, I havent tried them yet. I suppose tomorrow I’ll try WRT with the WeatherBug widget and the booting time is certainly a lot faster. I dont believe there are any more improvements than that. I dont believe the camera is snappier or even the OS itself, but maybe Im wrong and I just cant tell the diff.

    One question. If I proceed with the update, the new firmware will erase all the data I have in my N95, including contancts and calendar, and also all the programs I have installed? Will a memory card backup or backup using the Nokia software, help me avoid this?

    Well I installed it, had to borrow my room mate laptop with xp cuz vista is not supported.

    After installation the device reseted, some of the applications installed automatically and some not, tried to do it manually but had the same experience, gladly I backed up everything just before updating, and before I restored I was playing with it, the camera was faster the os a little bit faster, and the menu structure was redisigned, then played with WRT and tested mobitubia since the other firmware was sluggish connecting with ATT 3G, now I can see every video I wish. After restoring it was like more than 30 mins, the phone prompted me to reboot and had some errors appear, I just ignored them and got my contacts and events back, my settings were back and everything, I had some spare time and redisigned and moved some programs with new folders.

    I am glad I finally got the new firmware, although the process was very difficult and needed some patience.

    I’ve installed the new firmware and I can confirm that the camera operates much more quickly…instead of the excuriatingly slow load times between photos…the camera starts right up now…finally!
