Recieved mine yesterday. Very happy.
Batman preview is awesome quality.
I updated the firmware - little bit more responsive.
Currently busy encoding Ironman for the little beauty.

Nokia Software Updater gives me Software update fails when it installs and reaches 8 minutes. Anyone have a solution?

Only thing with that, I find, is that there is a slight delay in the video (video/sound)..
Almost like lag..
Just for completeness sake I encoded a movie with both applications and the amount of lag with both was exactly the same. Towards the very end of the movie there was a very distinct lag(1/2secs)from both applications. So they seem to do a similar job on that front. That being said its a 2 1/2 hour movie so maybe towards the end the encoding is likely to fall a bit behind...Lol
There was no perceivable lag for about 80% of the film on both fronts though. This phone RockZorsiDenTiTy

I agree, it's awesome.
I got Garmin Working - works ok with A-GPS off.
I might just go to C.U.M to buy the 2009 mapset...
The phone itself is awesome.
BTW, did you do a phone reset after you applied the new firmware?
I don't think my phone did.

I have turned the phone off and on a few times while fiddling with the pin etc etc....so somewhere it has been reset after the firmware update
How much is the 2009 mapset from CUM...? Any idea?iDenTiTy

Guys on the Forum recon it's R10.
Activation is R999. I'm gonna 'test' it before I activate it.
