The upgrade adds portrait browsing and there are changes to the UI in Ovi Maps and in the menu system with the first level now customizable. The Ovi Store will be adding apps and games this Thursday, May 27th with a full switchover.Weatherbug will be one of the added applications. The MeeGo platform is not expected to get support on the N900. After you have insalled the new firmware, let us know what it is doing for you and your phone.
