I believe update will be available on monday.
Software update 1.1 for new Symbian devices | Nokia Conversations - The official Nokia Blog
I hope PR 2.0 also releases in not so distant future. Landscape qwerty and better browser are the major changes I am eagerly waiting for.

I have C7. Updated to PR1.1 yesterday. Nothing improved much..except landscape dialer and colored 'music' screen saver. There is slight increase in smoothness in UI...and accelerometer works better now. The time taken to shift from portrait to landscape and vice-versa is reduced.
One thing I hate is - the default photos application is acting very weird now. When I try to pinch zoom...its does not work smooth at all..sometimes it changes the orientation instead of zooming in...some times it zoom outs :S its total mess...
On a side note, betalabs has released a new app - bubbles...get it NOW!!

cool looking..if this is how Qt UI /apps are gonna look like...then waiting for PR3.0
(and of course meego)
you mean portrait qwerty?

New UI coming for the web based Ovi Store.... Looks way better than the current one.

I have registered to all sms and email notifications from Ovi and nokia and also registered my product on their site.
Its strange that they have not sent an official mail regarding the update. The OTA failed a couple of times while checking for updates since morning... but now its working fine. Seems like many users are downloading it currently.
Nokia should really improve on this part. This update which is almost 6mB(6330kB) in size is marked as important.... then y no official notifications......

Finally updated the phone successfully....
Guys any link for the release notes of this update which can give more details on what all has really been updated in 1.1?
One good thing: Remember those 3 dead messages in my outbox. Now I was able to delete them / move to drafts. This was the first thing I checked and then the landscape dialler.

Changelog:
•Web updated to 7.2.8.10
•Quickoffice updated to 6.4.166, editing functions now enabled on the N8 (i.e. don’t have to pay to upgrade), improved zooming functions
•Adobe Reader updated to 2.5.653
•Big update to Nokia Email; performance improved; ‘unread emails’ flag added to homescreen widget; meeting requests can be accepted directly from email invitations; maps integration, which means people can view the meeting location on the map when the address is mentioned in the location field in the invite
•General performance improvements
•Dialler now works in landscape mode
•Previous performance updates are rolled in and, in the full (Ovi Suite-installed, >100MB) image, there’s the facility to provide a better working starting point than hard resetting a PR 1.0 device
Personally, i do not understand the need for landscape dialling.
As someone said before, not much improved. Now the wait for PR 2.0 starts

I saw this deal in ebay for anyone interested in N8(21.9k with free shipping.) Plus Ebay is offering free gift with purchase as well( 500GB hitachi portable drive or kodak camera etc).

of course there is a concern nokia might discard symbian as a smartphone platform. We will know this friday for sure. Still N8 is a great camera phone/multimedia phone/excellent for calls. I hope we at least get updates till QT is available plus better browser.
