Lol, yeah :P
Btw, I heard the cafeteria at the Nokia HQ in Finland is the best one for quite a few miles. Useless info, I know, but just wanted this thread to serve some purpose :)

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

The posting of an official date is always regarded unofficial, regardless of whether it is from an official or someone non officially associated with someone official... hence my previous comment.

If the person does know this for sure, thats good news cause it's real soon, if it's not a real date, then surely this person has probably already got what he wanted by capturing the attention of both the community both officially and non-officially associated...

I have officially worked and supported forums that involve software releases and patch releases and I know there are a couple of ways people get things done.

Spoofing as if from the company to gain momentum or a so called petition thread to encourage the business to bring about what the community is expecting.

I guess we'll all find out in just a week and a bit... and do we so cordially crown the unofficial releaser and credit them for creating anxiety and tension for a release we all want undeniably or will the other unofficial Nokia representatives win the day... stay tuned

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

I find this thread funny.

On a more serioud note, I hope the update that comes on the 11th has Windows Mobile or Palm o/s so I can run some applications on my paperweight (n800).

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

That was THEN. This is NOW. Your contacts dried up as you admitted earlier in this thread. Mine are cutting edge... coming right out of the horse's mouth. Looks like there is a new sheriff in town.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Dear Lord :( (who, just for the record, I don't really believe in...)

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

.
I could care less about the exact date it is to be released than what it contains.

I would really hope that the promised Skype support is included.

I am also really hoping that it will support SDHC cards! As a total and complete NON-Linux user I didn't attempt to install the patch for SDHC support already officially or unofficially released as, like I guess most average users, I have not the foggiest idea how to go about it.

Can't wait to order a couple of 8GB SDHC cards (anyone want to buy one of my kidneys?)!

Oh no, what ever will we do!:rolleyes:

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Nah dude... Just wait. I fully intend to post that you are my new god to all things geek if this is in fact released on 6-11.

These negative remarks come from the bandwagon jumpers whenever something like this is posted without independent, third party verification. Two weeks is a long time and anything can happen...

However, remarks about your wife, life, or even your haircut have nothing to do with the topic at hand and IMHO have no place in a publicly viewed forum like this. Some of your remarks may have opened that door but, two wrongs do not make a right.

Peace.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Hell, I hope it does come out June 11th.
Just to see you stuff it up Texrat's arrogant behind.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

just to be contrary i am going to bet that the release is Sat. June 12 2007. I am betting a posting of my "vertical smile" (read: @$$ crack) in a bambergers window, for everyone to kiss.

while i am at it, i'll put 3 on Red 15 and 5 on Black. After all this is a crap shoot at best

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

And now to make this thread really interesting...

Dude, if you are a US citizen I bet you are republican. :)

"I'm a uniter not a dividerer." -G. W. Bush


You know; regardless of when it will be released... it will be released.

I wish that this forum spent some energy identifying what bugs in 'zilla have been marked as being solved or addressed in the new release.

That way we can have a better idea of what to expect and be able to track Nokia's success in responding to our (users) needs.

That is my "wish" and for now that is all I can do. At least after 6-11-07 I may have a new minor deity that I can curse if things like A2DP or bug #1095 aren't taken care of.

Being the god of all things geek is a double edged sword. We will then know who to lay the blame on. :)

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Unfortunately few if any of the bugs in Bugzilla have been marked as fixed to my knowledge - the bug statuses are usually updated several months after the release of the firmware which fixes them. The process is shambolic but will hopefully improve as Nokia tend to be using the public Bugzilla a little more these days. After the last release with minimal change log Nokia promised an improved change log cross referenced against the public bugzilla, but so far nothing has been updated recently with the magic words "fixed in the upcoming release".

Following the next release I will go through my bugs and hopefully I won't have to update them all with the comment "still not working in release 4.2007.xx-y" as I did with release 3.2007.10-1. :(

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

But three lefts do! :D

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Just to let everyone know that I personally do not like people messing around with what I've written, even if it is such a trivial thing as inserting a colour code.

You can do to other people's words what you (or, more accurately: they) like, but not to mine.

Just for future reference...

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

I can't even get to site to check...

The last time I check my Bug #1095 I saw a response indicating that this will be corrected in the next upgrade.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Euchreprof, apart from Skype, do you have any info on what else will be included? Texrat has already alluded that enhancements from a reconstructed ‘listening and responding’ Nokia are in the offing. Are you in a position to elaborate further as to what we can expect?

A couple of weeks ago in a fit of wishful optimism I persuaded my brother that we buy an N800 + Navicore each. The trouble is, the more I look at it now, the more I feel that we have bought into a dead end project. Mark S has referred to his N800 as a paperweight on account of the lack of applications to run and at the moment he is right.

Nokia seem to have a restrictive vision for what could be a very versatile device, I think they are misguided and I suspect the sales figures reflect my view. So if Nokia feel the need to make up for what has been hitherto lacking then the next big release will provide that opportunity.

Thank you for sharing your information.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Anderbr, are you a stand-up comic by any chance? Funny stuff, man.

And to Rebski: I *could* technically answer your questions specifically, but I can't from a policy perspective. I don't intend to jeapordize my career by running afoul of the powers that be. I like my job (and recent promotion especially) ;)

Suffice to say your voices HAVE been heard, and work is underway to implement improvements. The Tableteer survey is a start.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Texrat, I fully understand your position which is why I said 'alluded' because I know that you are not permitted to be specific. This was not intended in any derogatory sense. I certainly don't want you to lose your job. For many reasons not least because, from what I can see, you represent the best link we have with Nokia direct.

Normally I don't bother with surveys because I am never confident that they are given any meaningful attention but if you feel it important to complete the Tableteer survey then I shall do so.

It is referred to here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=6601 but I am still confused as to how to find it. Does it only show up on the N800? If so then I need to wait until next week when I get mine from Amazon, I have fallen foul of Nokia UK's unbelievable incompetence.

Nokia UK have to be the worst company I have ever dealt with. If you get the chance to say that very loudly during a conversational lull in the Finnish canteen you would have my gratitude.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Rebski, I didn't have any problem with your post... just makign sure my positionw as clear (and I'm glad to see it is with some at least). ;)

AFAIK the tableteer survey is only available via the N800. There are checks on the site for the Opera browser the N800 uses.

I'm very sorry about your experience with Nokia UK. I've seen similar reports from others. I can't do anything specifically about that but I know this forum is read by some who may be able to.

And something to understand about the Finns: they are very serious about what they do. Nokia would not post a public survey without every intention of following up on it. Please take the time to complete it. I am.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Have gone through this whole thread, and all I can say is: blablablablablablabla....
It would be great if there's new software released the 11 of june, and if not......well to bad, and let's all just leave it there, I can't understand what all the childish bickering is about.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Everything Texrat posts about upcoming news is vague and scoops from other websites. He even admits earlier in this thread that his contacts are gone now, but he still can't let go of the weak type of power he gets off of newbies like you so he continues this nonesense. BOTTM LINE IS AFTER JUNE 11, 2007 AS YODUDE PUTS IT... I am your new Nokia N800 geek god. Texrat = Nokia 700 geek good, euchreprof = Nokia N800 geek god.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

You noticed that too?

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

I just typed that for "effect". Sure i will tell you all the scoops I get in the future. I won't let a few bad apples on here ruin it for the rest of us. I understand my role though... without June 11, 2007 i better shutup for life on here... with June 11, 2007 I shutup some people on here for life.

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

Euchreprof, just so we can be clear, regarding this forthcoming software release. Is it just the date that you know or do you also have knowledge of the specific contents and features of the release?

If it is the latter then would you have an objection to sharing it with us?

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

What a child.

Geez gang, doesn't the recently added clown avatar tell you anything? The dude is spoofing trolls, and people are taking him seriously. LOL

He always posts 3 in a row :)

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

On 30 March 2007, Nokia posted...

Which isn't to say that it will be fixed in the _next_ release - only that it will be fixed in a future release. Few, if any, bugs have been confirmed as being fixed in the next release. :(

Re: June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS
 

He's the 3rd grade alter ego of another hyperbolic poster here. A while back he created another (now disabled) account for a short-lived, surreal rant where he berated a few of us... as well as himself in the 4th person. Doesn't get any crazier than that, folks. Or sadder. ;)
