living on southpole, still no update there.

Can we reach enought posts to get a unsigned integer overflow of the posts counter to reset it to zero?

Disciplined?! Well, perhaps if this were a playground, that would be appropriate.

Either that or congratulated for valient attempts at aborting yet another pointless waste of space PR1.2 thread.

I guess your perspective on this would stem from whether you want a community forum that is riddled with the same threads over and over again.

Perhaps a mod will merge this with all the others.

I doubt that my perspective would be any different if such rudeness and deception came from someone who agreed with me.

Google will be announcing Froyo today. Google can announce a release date and stick to it. Something Nokia can't do.

As soon as I confirm the Droid will get Froyo, I am buying a Droid.

I'll keep my N900 as a novelty.

I will kinda miss not having the front-facing camera, but then again, I have had a Nokia with front-facing camera for three years and I still can't make a video call. So what's the point.

Do it. Why not? The release candidate will be buggy, but maemo is buggy anyway, and you know the final 1.2 release will be buggy.

If you don't promise nothing no one can blame you for not keeping promises.. Nokia is so ****ing big and great company that they don't have to give any schedules. Nokia will not follow calendar, calendar will follow them :D

Here's a preview of what MeeGo could do with BMW...

http://earth2tech.com/2010/05/18/vid...-for-the-volt/

That video looks so fresh with revolutionary integration features between your smartphone and car. I wonder how the market would be like when Nokia announces their own version.... it certainly won't be as pristine/virgin as it is right now.

Well I want to thank you geneven. I realise that my joke reply about thread closure was confounding for some, and its intent was to (as unlikely as it was) stop a PR1.2 thread in its tracks.

Your great offense has achieved the same thing I believe as this has converted the thread to a bickering match between the two of us, which will interest no one and put a stop it.

So thanks again for participating, and perhaps we can get together on the next PR1.2 thread and do the same thing?

I prefer to wait 2-3 weeks more then having a unstable version and wait for 3 Month on 1.2.1 or 1.3 :D

The date system is a universal API to interact with reality/rest of the world... they gotta use it (deadlines) so they don't lose touch with the rest of us...

That's pretty cool!

Not a chevy fan myself. U.S. can't make a good car.

But I would definately trade my Porsche for a BMW if it could link with my N900! =D

Yep.. the market for these smartphones is gonna be wide open... I can see a whole market just for home/automotive automation gadget on itself, even without any of the current much touted smartphone features (media playback, app stores, etc).

Time to buy more AAPL, GOOG and NOK =p

If it does more damage then it fixes, then why should I bother?
Then I better wait for the real deal that fixes at least *something*! :p

do you know that any software is buggy? and any software version is buggy? and there is a quote saying something like 'any bug considered as last bug in application becomes penultimate'.
The truth is that any company trying to fix everything will never release a version. most successfull companies do frequent major/minor releases, patches, hotfixes etc. That provides immediate value. There is a lean approach called Just Enough and Just in Time and looks like Nokia is doing really bad release management. They are trying to goldplate the pr, and that's stupid. they could safe a lot of money doing betas and releasing them to community what would be helpful for the regression phases, fix all criticals/majors and release with some minors. after a month do one more release. This is what is called agile and this was what I expect from company using agile methodology and Scrum. There is even pretty famous Nokia Scrum Test and one of question is 'Is the software completely tested and working at the end of an iteration?' And this is basic level of being really agile. Nokia is not! Nokia does not have potentially shipable product at the end of an iteration. and that sucks.
