Thanks to the guys over at talk.maemo.org, a new fw update is on its way to everybody. Also on Twitter there is a word on this 2 steps update: first will come this minor one(16.2 MB) starting today, which will prepare the room for a second, major update (that will hopefully bring QT on board).

There is no changelog yet and supposedly it won’t be until the major 1.2 update at the end of Feb. Some of the lucky guys who were able to see and update their N900 are saying MicroB is moving smoother and the media player is louder

What you need to know / do:

1. You will need more space: disable and delete all the repos but the first 3 (which are read only, anyway) – this way you’ll gain up to 10-12 MB of rootfs; uninstall any major hogs like “OpenArena

2. You will need to backup everything

This update should be available over-the-air and from here: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php

Don’t expect too much from this update:

– No wi-fi battery drainage addressed

– No video call

– No OVI maps improvements

– No free navigation

– No USSD (so keep using USSD widget)
