Update is definitely worthwhile.
Battery performance is much better.
Wifi tethering works fine.
Unlock feature has four options (> unlock, ^ phone, < message,v camara).
Volume buttons unlock feature has been disabled…
Furthermore the User Interface has been approved slightly (gingerbread).
Last but not least, some pre-installed (demo) X5 apps are luckily gone and won't draw the battery empty!
In my case I had to add the APN manually to have internet.
Please lookup these settings for your provider.
Update can be performed from the build-in internal 2gB SD-Card.
Just create a dload directory and put the update.app file in.
See pdf file for further instructions!
