Those fiesty Finns wrote an LCARS emulator in Python, which as you know runs on ARM quite well - Who knew?:)

- Maemo 4.0 (whatever that might be (why are we so afraid of this?))
- Opera update
- Google Talk (and it's integration in the OS) replaced by Skype
- Flash update
- ??

What else did you say was in the update??

WTF? What HAPPENED to my TWIN-ROTOR LASER WIELDING WIMAX MODULE WITH TRANSFORMER ENHANCED BLUETOOTH SKYPE? :mad: :mad: :mad:

They took it out. The BT Skype doesn't run on LCARS, only on Wind.... Wind.... Can't get it out of my mouth/keyboard....

The laser function is in development, for the transformer ability you will have to wait until the next model pops out (nokia n9000p, where p means Prime) :D :D :D

they decided to change the OS to a linux Franklin-like multilingual translator. more user friendly.
Oh and also a metric unit converter. and a international country code finder.

Not sure it's wise to predict anything on these forums if even the "insiders" don't have any clue. But if you must, you should start a new thread, there are only so few of those atm.

Commodore 64 emulator would be nice.. They could include it to this update too.. :)

No laser for me, I like retro better.. ;)

Me checking http://europe.nokia.com/A4305010

When I called the Nokia Shop in Helsinki, they told to check there as this would be the 1st place to appear. This is not a Finnish website but European.

I have to say they did not seem to be aware of anything. So IMHO, this information has no value at all.

Shall I repeat? : Nokia Multimedia is in the great conference hall of Nokia House, reading our posts on a giant screen. The crowd is roaring with laughers.

Thanks for sharing this. But... this page might be left unchanged since there is no version reference?! Anyone of the F5 hitters?

Well, you know? I'm tired of this. I know the new firm will be released when it is ready.

Hello:

I'm posting from the future! The new release is great! I love using Skype on my tablet!

The new firmware includes a feature to send posts into the past -- that's how I'm posting this message! Ok, I'd better go and dig some snow -- there's a blizzard in NYC! Bye for now! :-P

Lovely to hear form the future. And how much is a N800 on the antiquities market in your days? 2.500.000 New USD? ( I m talking of the USD after the third currency devaluation done by the grandson of Al Gore).

No clue, maxi. Not my system.

EDIT: I just realized I may be wrong on that "day of the month" identifier. It's not important anyway.

Your search - v. 3.2007.27-5 - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.
* Try fewer keywords.

This doesn't work for 1.2006.26-8 2.2006.39-14 (neither week 26 or 39 had day 8 or 14 falling within the respective week). I thought the final digit was the build number within the week, ie. build attempt. The original N800 firmware was 2.2006.51-6 yet some devices shipped with 2.2006.51-7 - again no day 6 or 7 fell in week 51 (period 18 Dec to 24 Dec) so the discrepancy is most likely explained by an extra build of the code base sometime within week 51.

Code:

V: means version
3: Sequential number, starting with 1
2007: Year of build - not related to OS version
10: Week of build within year
7: Build number within week

If there is a firmware release tomorrow, the firmware version will be 4.2007.xx-yy where xx is a week from about 6 weeks ago (when the build occurred - allow ~6 weeks for QA, eg. 21) and yy will be some random number between 1 and 30! :)

My guess... 4.2007.21-8

:D

Yesterday it was tomorrow, what is it today?

tomorrow. Don't you get it? it will always be tomorrow.

...

and cherry on the cake, this is an absolutely exact prediction, and I can tell you precisely when it will be correct:

the day before the release date

Hahaha

I never gave dates. I just go with "soon", which aggravates slightly fewer people and gives the trolls the ammo they so desperately crave. :p

Although there is nothing at all in this thread worth reading, I thought I would add more to it by saying "hi" message ends here. Hopefully it was just as annoying as even reviewing this thread in the first place.

Greetings Everyone:


Well it seems Nokia did have a firmware ugrade after all, but it wasn't for the Nokia N800.

Take a look at this:

The EULA requires that we not interfere with the time space continuum. :)

(in other words, all of the people here in the future have already won the lottery. Winning the lottery is now the most popular career and most
N800 tablets are actually used almost exclusively to call our accountants in the Cayman Islands via Skype -- since the world economy collapsed due to the massive inflation from all of the winning lottery tickets, the only way to communicate is with a tablet. There's no such thing as a phone or computer anymore).

Anyway, my whole reason for writing is to please ask Nokia to delay the release of this firmware until tomorrow so that they can remove the postbackintime feature. Sorry about the delay, but perhaps knowing that you are saving humanity will make the wait more bearable.
