Just had the phone restart "to improve performance" while installing a theme 
Predicitve text stopped functioning, it didnt work even after enabling it from the control panel, had to do a master reset. It's working now but the new firmware still doesn't give the option to add a space after the predicted word (like in Ezi Tap), meaning a needless key press just to insert this space.

I had the "improve performance" restart now since doing the update. I hadn't even sync'd yet or installed any apps
anyway, I am now suitably impressed by this update based on the time spent so far and if this is where they are at with the P990 then you'd have to think that can't be too far away either

Will yours not work with SEUS at all then? Is it prototype hardware? |

The "phone was restarted to improve performance" is the most ridiculous error message i have seen in quite a while. Maybe something microsoft should adapt. Everytime windows bluescreens they should just reboot and display a message "Windows was restarted to improve performance"... |

How do you check the FW version? |

Echoing Masseur, the latest firmware is very impressive. SE responsiveness is also impressive - they are still small enough to be agile even though their development budget is probably very low relative to Nokia.
I have used most of the in-built apps on the M600 except the games & video. As I have never had the "improving performnace" restart issue I can only assume the apps that push the M600 hardware can lead to instability. Having used a PSP for video I would never try to use a Smartphone for watching films.

I had an "insufficient memory" message on my way into the office this morning.
I was downloading a 19kb email. I also noticed that ACM and WEB were closed following that.
cheking storage manager it showed 16mb free so I have no idea what caused that
no battery warning at all (and I didn't recondition my battery  )

@masseur,
need some clarification. Is it the case that with the previous firmware if you had an 'insufficient memory' message you would also get a re-start? I understand from your last post the warning message does not cause a re-start/reset.
PS. Glad to hear about the improved battery monitoring

Why's that? It's not an error, heck, even pc games do that to rebuild the cache after an upgrade ...  |

How can I do a master reset? I found the option to revert to factory settings. Is this the master reset?
My themes have gone nuts, unfortunately. The M600 is now stuck to the default theme and won't open any other. It keeps telling me the file was corrupted and couldn't open.
Thanks for any advice. |

@kurowiak
see: Control Panel>Other> Master Reset
PIN is 0000
Do a back-up first and make sure the back-up file is actually created

I've had the "improve performance" reset my phone once while using the web browser on the previous firmware. |
