maemo.org - Talk - New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)

http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/t5/Ma...te/td-p/633617

Looks like Nokia can't even respond on their own website. You'd think someone from Nokia (who either surfs here or on Nokia Support) would make a statement - even if it says 'its coming'!

Nokia and customers don't seem to mix do they. I think they could learn something if they only thought about us for 30 seconds.

If anyone says I'm a troll or am whinging will get told to @@@@ ***.
I don't think I'm being impatient either. Day 3 no update while the rest of the world sits back grinning with their faster and slicker N900's.....I'm not bitter:mad:
I'm just a pissed customer.

Why? I want the N900 to be a success like the rest of us. Leaving out certain groups without explanation isn not on - even if we had a message saying its not coming to us or its coming but later - will do!

Flasher: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php

How to upgrade firmware: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...ndows_7_32-bit
How to use flasher: http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher

I got fed up of waiting and flashed mine too.

Pretty painless procedure really. I only lost my startup video and the theme changed, otherwise everything's back to normal. The backup app works like a dream.

I realise the update is not that important, but I'm pretty sure the next one will be and I don't want to be hanging round for days (weeks/months?) for Nokia to get off their collective backsides and release a UK specific version.

You've inspired me to flash my N900 too. I have a UK version and I don't even live in the UK so what the heck?

I tried the NSU but didnt provide the update saying it was already up to date with PR1.1. Will try the flasher tonight to update it.

Apologies for not reading the whole thread, but as a UK user who got their update OTA on Tuesday (in Truro, Cornwall) I thought I'd check in.

Ie, the dev api's and things i have installed... - god knows what i have installed... (Or probably doesnt)

After it flashed I restored the backup, and after that it spent quite a while downloading all of the applications that I had previously installed. Everything seems to have restored without a problem.
