Does that mean no GSM version of the Q at all? Oh well, I'm thinking about getting the new HP 69xx when it comes out over the Q anyways. Has more features (GPS/WiFi).

I did the update. The most noticeable things for me are the browser enhancements (frames support, fast scrolling, page up/page down keys) and an overall performance improvement.

On the down side, the battery drains faster.
