I see the update both from Software Update and Nokia Suite. Trying to update from either fails with no useful error messages for me and lots of other people.

People who did somehow get it to install are reporting lots of problems (but I don’t know about that).

Is a fixed installer coming soon?

The first N8 16Mb update broke my devise maps. I can’t roll back after reset my N8. Then there showed up a new update smaller one and now my Maps works. But this can’t be the final Maps. To many bugs.

Since I downloaded the new Maps app I’ve had some “freezing” issues on my N8. Also, although in Maps my Favourites are still listed in the groups I set up, in Drive they are only listed in order of proximity. This makes finding a Favourite far more difficult. Why do this? Furthermore, in landscape mode the actual map is very small – there are large margins being taken up with other, all-be-it useful information. Some good new features, however.

This version semms to have issues too.

Maps will always stay in the background, even if you close it (use App Stop for example to check it). If you stop it (with App Stop for example) it will start up again immediately. This will affect the running time of the battery. All you can do here is to shut off you phone and turn it on again.

Also some users told, the onlineconnection is always up for some reason.

Good prime Jay, the 50mm 1.4 is a worthwhile lens. But, as an advice, never take pics at 3200 ISO!!! Trust me, install magic lantern on 60D, that will definetly help you a lot

The good:
Much better touchscreen-oriented design with bigger buttons and less clutter.

The bad:
Looks like they got rid of the Trip Advisor integration while they redesigned the application. This would be very unfortunate as it has helped me find good restaurants very quickly in the past while on the road.
