I was fearful that I would have problems because I did the upgrade using parallels on my mac (Nokia - please add mac support for all your applications). I then restored form the back-up on the car and it also worked. The only problem is many of my applications like Fring, and Gmail wont launch. Some will- DivX works. I guess I will just have to download them again. I did the upgrade last night, and carefully followed the instructions, and it worked.

I definitely noticed it this time when I did a re-flash to see if I could get the WLAN to run more stable (which it hasn't). However, after the restart the phone automatically tried to re-install any applications it could find on the memory card, but failed on a couple of them and other just refused to run. Still pretty crap - Nokia have a way to go to get this running smoothly. It states on the software updater screen that the phone memory will be wiped when you upgrade.

I keep the .sis files for all of my applications for this purpose. It's sad, but this is the only way I've found to have a flawless re-installation process and not experience trouble down the road with apps not re-installing or restoring.
