'Apparently' its being posted to every n900 owner. Look out for thick envelope on doormat over the next few days.

nb - I'm not being rude. Just though i'd add another 'fact' to to maelstrom.

easy for me to say hehe ...

After a few years of announcing firmware updates and failing to deliver them on time, they learned the lesson and simply don't announce anything ahead of time.

I think according to curent rumours it is due at the end in the next few days possibly April?


Personally I expect it for the end of April or May maybe start of June.
On the other hand I am willing to wait until the end of June start of July.
If there are any last minute problems then I imagine it will be end of August maybe during September?
By that time it should be publically available between October and November at the very latest December?

I think you'll find that update was the UK 1.1.1

Thats where the spirits channelled by TV's own Derek Acorah said i would find it.

i think it was a bad idea to merge that thread to this as it was users(including me) messing around and posting useless info because the OP didnt bother to search.

this is going make this thread more bloated with unless stuff

most likely it would not be be product code so U should get 1.2 working on both US and EU phones; not similar to symbian phones (in order to put Polish update on US phone i need to change product code from US one to Polish). n900 have just some preinstalled stuff for different countries; should be quite simple to change.

Nokia announced it would sell N900 in Brazil in 60 days. Brazil is not yet a supported location in N900 settings, so PR1.2 will be available before 60 days.

I tried to upgrade those yesterday:

apt-get dist-upgrade gave me some dependency issue, then I run
apt-get upgrade it started to get all those packages from sdk repository. I cancelled the upgrade because it was keeping back lots of packages like kernel update. it would be better to wait for the official release.
by the way I send my n900 to warranty for the speaker issue, hope pr1.2 comes before my phone.

When asked Nokia's CEO said that the update will be distributed to each N900 user. The update is so big that downloading it would overload their server. A free blu ray disc will be sent to each N900 user. The update will be 25GB, leaving only 2 GB of working space. That sucks..

Anyway to get the update you must register your address with a photo of you holding your N900 as proof at:

http://www.nokia.com/register-my-n90...future-updates

The next update titled PR1.4 will be 40GB. So buying a 16GB mem card is mandatory. Nokia hates the number 3 so they skipped it.

Oh man - quality comedy material like this is rare. You should totally write for late night TV. Leno would be my guess.

From twitter: it seems some Nokians are starting to load it up http://twitter.com/luovanto and http://twitter.com/chansearrington but another Nokian said that it was still under testing. Probably a couple more weeks to wait.

i think the first code base of meego will be released as pr 1.2 and **** up every n900 on planet earth. was it release this week?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
if Jussi Mäkinen as only just got his hands on dev version then it looks like we wont see a finished public version any time soon.
hope i'm wrong but if it was ready he would have no need to install dev versions, he;d just flash final ver as he can get access to it

On this german IT news portal you can read in the abstract under the headline that PR1.2 will be relaesed in Mai 2010:

This could be a typo. In the end of the article they wrote the relase date is not official announced. :confused:

Now now give me a break..i'm just speculating like everyone else..much better than wondering whether the update is coming tomorrow and if it is an April's fool surprise.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
I reckon 1.2 will be our lot, if it ever even materialises... maybe 1.2.1 to fix the things 1.2 breaks

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
I think PR1.2 is ready. However normally, an update fixes things and breaks other. I think they're testing it and trying to fix what they broke.
