Exact timing hasn’t been worked out yet? The timing should have been worked out BEFORE you make any announcement! Why tell us to come back tomorrow and THEN tell us it will be another day. In any other business, your department would have been terminated for a continued show of poor performance and customer dissatisfaction. Nokias N900 announcements and plans are becoming a joke. We N900 users spend our time trying to see if the promises will come true, often anticipating the happening of what is said to happen more than what is promised. You guys are becoming wors+ than telling kids to write to santa and that they will get what they ask for because they were a good kid all year. We, the users of Maemo have been good all year, supporting YOUR device with our free R&D and just like fake santa clause, you(Nokia) let us down everytime. Why? Why announce deadlines and not meet them? Why not meet them and not explain why you were not able to meet them? Nokia treats N900 users like “You should be glad to have the N900 so sit back an shutup, we don’t owe YOU, we will release updates and features when and IF we feel like it and if you have a problem go buy something else (like Meego) because we already got your money from the N900″

Stop telling us Christmas is on Dec 25 and that you are getting me a BMW and then delivering the gift on JANUARY 29 an it turns out to be a Bike Made Well. Late AND disappointing!

I hope that Nokia learns to keep deadlines. I can’t keep referring customers to Nokia with a good conscience just to lead them to a regrettable letdown. Not everyone will stick around just because of powerful hardware and a open OS. Services, Support and Customer Satisfaction of your current customers determine if they and the people they talk to will be new customers.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I think they will launch a series of youtube videos pitting n900 against the iPhone in different signal-interfering conditions; and the n900 will win every single one of them.

Thus restoring the pride of all n900 owners.

Even though the telephony app still sucks.

And we've used the argument that 'telephony is secondary' in the past against other N900 deficiencies.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

well, i think i will be 1,2,3 & 4 or all of the following:
1)- Portrait Mode.
2)- Large capacity Battery
3)- New software Up-date.
4)- Ovi Map- ( free navigation ).

Hope so.
Thanx

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for USB Host mode.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I guess... Nokia will refund N900 for all users.....

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

where is the announcement?

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

What's the big news?

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

hahahahaha------------nice one:D:D

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

all N900 users can get a refund.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Haha, not that I think for a moment that it would happen but, if they did give a refund the timing couldn't be worse with the Nexus one off the market.

In the world of reality, I hope this doesn't disappoint. If you are going to make an announcement about making an announcement it had better be something earth shattering. I hope the timing issue is due to getting everything in place for immediate deployment.

Edit: the announcement is that Nokia will switch wholesale to android for smartphone plaforms and starting immediately the N900 gets test builds, and owners can claim one free slider replacement with new lcd, capaciive digitizer, and soft keys on the face for each n900 imei.

Double edit: (nearly) free handset upgrade to the N9.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users

It’s not that. But it is good. Exact timing is yet to be revealed, so be prepared to possibly wait till Thursday.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

i am soo optimistic about the " news"

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Yep, all users can get a full refund or a free case to improve the attenna! Oh yeah!
/me *something stab into my neck...
...

I think it would be an update for us, yay!
But, if it just an app then I would launch some little lovely nuke bombs head to the Nokia's lab...
"Be calm to wait!" I think I've read this from somewhere talking about N900.
It's should be some Ovi Maps improve? Flash 10.1? Or all together to get an "Ovi Faps" improve... wahhahaha!

I Guess I should "Be calm to wait!" again and again...

PS.In Thailand, my home, NOW IT WAS JULY 21TH, 9:40 PM! WTH? I'M STILL WAITINGGGG!!!!!
PS.2 The page says tomorrow everytimes I've visited, so It would be tomorrow FOREVER!!! MUAAAAAAA!!!!

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Thing is if it is an update - then we can get another multi thousand post thread going speculating about when the update will come out. While at the same time receiving zero info from Nokia regarding the date.

In the thread I want to play the riddler.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

^ Finland. Nokia. :)! lotta time left there!..
I think its a good Ovi map..

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Looks like the Nokia PR department meeting has resulted in a farce again...

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users

3D Roller Coaster :)

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

i bet the exciting news is not as exciting.. or probably something that we know of already. who cares

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/...he-nokia-n900/

i think they will do something out of this...

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I hope they ship the software for the laser cannon in N900's camera.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

This thread reminds me meego pre-alpha release one=)

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

If they're postponing that announce until Tuesday, Chuck Norris will capture this thread way before that.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

or maybe they'll say "HAHA ITS A JOKE, WE GOT YAH!!" shissh!

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Chuck Norris is the herald of disappointment.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

i dont need ovi maps. i have sygic.
and flash 9 is enough for me, so flash 10 doesn't interest me either.
in fact i dont miss anything with my n900. so i dont care about this announcement.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

The release of Qt 4.7?

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Webkit engine for microb so we don't miss out on all those pimp Google/Apple web apps.

Not exactly exciting, but cool none the less.

I can't possibly think of anything less exciting. A sodomy accessory would be moreso.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I really hope its OVI Maps. But i doubt Nokia will do anything about it.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I dont believe it related to software or hardware.
Probably another stupid-*** contest or something.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Well, they said "some more exciting news", indicating they believe posting an old YouTube video about MyPaint that we've already seen here weeks ago is already considered exciting news... (not that the video isn't impressive, but you know what I mean)

So maybe they'll search the archives in this forum and dig up some more old news to post and get us "excited" :)

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Were is the stupid bunch of tags for this thread? i want it, and i want it NOW! :)

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 usersHey
 

"Hey guys, sorry about the n900 have a free E73."

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

BTW i bet for Angry Birds Level Pack 2 and 3

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Well, there are two things that have been released yesterday/today with very low profile so my guess is that it's those things:

• First release of the Qt Web Runtime (which I singlehandedly delayed for a few days due to package-naming concerns ;) )
• A QtMobility update that brings us to 1.0.2 (no new features, but considering the state of 1.0 it is a welcome bug-kill release).

Qt4.7 would be too big of a deal as it would imply PR1.3. I don't expect Flash, and other than that, there is not much that can happen (well, except for maybe some MeeGo dev releases).

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

Not holding much hope of this announcement being something interesting or exciting. Sadly.

It will probably be some marketing hype like:

"New feature for N900: FaceBlahBlah!!
You can blah-blah to your mates, face-to-face using the N900 front facing camera!! For free!! Be amazed my people!! The future is here!!"

Yey... :rolleyes:

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 

I bet some folks sitting at a fency nokia's headquarter now, scrolling over this thread with one hand and jerking off with the other.
