Why should I care?

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

Apparently you care enough to make a thread about it. I care, but I also have friends outside of the gadgetworld. So my caredom is kinda limited I guess. I lose.

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

I've never cared when a software update will come out unless something is major foobared of which the software N900 isn't.

Yes there are some silly little bugs in it, but it doesn't stop me enjoying my device to its fullest. The only thing slightly impacting that is the fact the QT packages have been removed from the repos so I can't install certain apps requiring QT.

Please stop posting these useless threads now, i'm tired of reading so much sh1t on this forum.

I don't own the phone (think I am waiting for meego) but I think I understand the sentiment of many here. ok so the phone and internet works. yes it is functional. but you paid quite a bit for your device and you expect nokia will honor the money you put in by updating the device.

people like to get updates, it is half the excitement of owning an os, I have been using ubuntu for a year, and they give nice updates on time. was my ubuntu working in 810 version? yes. but it is working better in 10.04. I know we are talking firmware vs os but the point is if you pay $600 for a phone it should not be abandoned by the manufacture in 3 months time.

simply put...you got screwed.

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

since the update wont come in a close Time i switched the phonecard out of my n900 and use now an old low budget 50$ symbian 40 first gen nokia 2680 and you know what i a full functional mobile phone.

Its really a shame that Nokia isnt able to bring some cheap phone functionalitiys for the n900 like Profiles , seperate Ringtone (maybe mp3 , acc) and so one. And what i really hate is that the voice quality when iam talking on this cheap phone is 10x better than on my n900..

With the N900 i heard allways i cant hear your buddy about the N9 becomes suddenly silent and also i wasnt able to hear the call partner sometimes.. this are known bugs btw..

The N900 i only use at home with wifi for surfing the web or chatting with friends but thats definitly not what i was buying it for.

And now all those fan boys with there perfect n900 and the i dont have any bugs on it mentality sorry guys open your eyes take a look at bugzilla..

I wish I could...:(

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

im hoping the update brings more app.that is wot is missing on the n900. dont understand why nokia arnet getting more apps for this fone.nokia are on the way out it seems to me,they cant keep up.nokia had its peak in the 90s and 2000s im sorry to say

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

@airjaff i wouldnt say Nokia is out at all i guess they just changed there opinion about the Systems. Nokia works now with Symbian 3 and pushes a lot new phones at the market. And now we take a look at Maemo where are 3 devices at all and one is actual (n900).

The next problem is Meego like we can see Nokia is takeing there best Developers from Meamo to the Meego Project. For me we did set on a dead System wich will maybe get 1 or 2 more simple bugfixing updates if we are lucky but nothing more.

And the big screaming will come when Meego isnt able for the N900 about some new graphic features, 4G or something else when it comes in a year or two.

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

I already have PR1.2 on my phone and it fixed all the issues I had with it. I'm very happy with my N900 now.
So no, I don't care anymore. :)

Re: PR1.2 do you actually care any more?
 

I do care a lot. Sometimes I think that current situation with this update and extras repositiory has been made by big companies who want to stop Maemo and Qt because it's a very good move to turn developers away from this platform.
There's a lot of applications got stuck in extras-devel because there is no Qt 4.6 in extras. FUD makers must become crazy because of this good luck. Maybe it's the Nokia's plan to put them into a mental hospital, but I don't think it will work.
