pr 1.2 has qt 4.6.....that's kind of a big deal

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Have we been looking at the same changelog?

I agree.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

So does QT 4.6 mean we should see a huge flood of great apps?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

meego currently supports qt 4.6, as well as symbian ^3(i think).
so if an app is made with qt 4.6 then it should work on all platforms

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Do it then... -_-

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

any news on new firmware

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

hey, the new firmware is not avail in SA so I thought i fligh to the UK and update and fligh back, but nothing any news lol

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

The N900 isn't even available in Australia (got mine from USA) :p

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

it would be surprise to wake up in the morning and find out that i have pr2.0 and my n900 making coffee for me

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

this is the best one I heard heard until now :):):):):):):D

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

You mean - overclocked? ;)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

I think we all should giving up on waiting for PR1.2 right now. The longer we wait the more tortured we feel

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Instead of ranting why the firmware still isn't here, I'll ask a more constructive question:

Is there any chance that PR1.2 or future updates will enable 720p video-playback? The media experience is already amazing, but you know, I couldn't resist asking. Technically I think it is possible, having already tried it with mplayer, though the picture lagged alot. Maybe it just needs to be optimizied specifically for the device? I'm sure people would welcome it. 1080p would be useless, but 1280x720 could be nice.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Would it make any difference? The N900 screen is 800 × 480, where 720p is 1280x720 ?? I guess it may be slightly better than 480p (720x480)...

-- or are you asking if the screen resolution could be increased (is that restricted by hardware)?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

I really miss my maps! and I have no options in Australia...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Are you talking GPS maps? Ovi Maps work for me in AU (Virgin Mobile)...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

i would know if the camera supports hd resolution

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Higher res video still would look better than a lower res or a pixel matching resolution (800x480) video on the N900's screen. I did get 1280x720 videos to play on my N900 using mpalyer. But it is painfully slow. About 3-5 fps with my overclocked 1Ghz N900. Sound is fine but video is non-watchable and out of sync. Wish mplayer used the DSP. Then it may be able to play most HD files.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Guys small offtopic , sorry

I cant sign into Ovi Store , it says Nokia authentication system is down , is it ok? Cuz i can browse it but i cant download existing apps... i'm concerneds because I saw some people left reviews for apps dated April 13 etc, so I wonder maybe its a problem with my N900?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

I ran a search in Ovi Maps one and i got locations 12,000 Km away? I've checked all the settings it's set to the Australian region...

It's useless!

Besides that great phone... the Skype thing is cool, I walk in my house it picks up the wireless and I can receive calls via it... nice feature...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

It's virtually impossible for a video to look better than a video with the same resolution as the screen. You're almost certainly better off reencoding an HD video to 800x480 using a good encoder with a good scaler than relying on the N900 to do high quality scaling in real time. Either way, you're looking at a 800x480 picture on the N900, any other resolution is physically impossible. The only case where it might be a bad idea to reencode is when you've got the video in a stupidly low bitrate to begin with. [/offtopic]

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

PR 1.2 = within the next 2 weeks.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Well another week and no new firmware wa wa waaaaa. Glad I got rid on my N900 and got a good old iPhone, loving it too.

Nokia won't be getting any more of my cash!!!

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

nokia are pretty sad no to have fixed these bugs in n900.... i blame nokia and maemo team tbh.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Funny, why it is concern you anymore. ... :D

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

I laugh if pr 1.2 still has bugs.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

How soon is your iphonoe firmware update coming? is there a speculation thread for it as well?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Of course it will, thats why as soon as its out everyone will jump on the "where is pr1.3 bandwagon", but i for one will not (am not) gonna let a few bugs stop me enjoying what is an amazing device, at the end of the day a few bugs are well worth it when you consider just how open this platform is,

I still find myself looking here at least 5 or 6 times a day for news though, i know it'll come when it comes, but i realy hope its soon!

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

It will. So will PR 1.3, Meego 1.1, iPhone OS 4.0, Windows, Linux, OSX, and any other operating system in the past, now, and in the future.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Maybe i wrong, but when you receive your phone and two days after, one month to repair it (PR 1.0), i call that of swindle not a problem of bugs.
Sorry for my english ;-)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

My firmware is rock solid stable as far as I've seen. Can do a load more than the N900 can do too, a lot less fiddly!

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

why should we care about your ipod?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Hahahaha Just admit you still missed your N900.... poor thing. Go tell that to your iphone fanboy. :D

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

You have an iPhone now but keep spamming this forum with useless posts? Is your new toy not entertaining enough?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Dont you dare compare that useless mobile with n900!:mad:

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Can you make it any more apparent that you're clueless about software development? I mean, really....

I will quote myself, AGAIN:

Look at it this way. With any major project (especially hardware/software) there will always be issues/defects. ALWAYS. Things aren't shipped when they are "bug free" - they are shipped when there is reasonable confidence that the major issues have been identified and fixed or deemed low impact. I'd rather a company be honest and delay something a little rather than chuck it out the door with what may possibly be serious defects.

What would happen to the device's reputation and future sales if they prematurely sent it out the door knowing there is a possibility of something going horribly wrong? Look at the guest account issue with the latest version of OS X, for instance. Some more exposure to beta testers may have very well exposed that issue, who knows; yet obviously the decision was made to release it. It is also quite likely that some people in Apple's release management team were aware of it and decided that it is not that likely end users would follow that scenario.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

my girlfriend has an iphone and while i might pick it up a couple of times a week to play a game (when she has my n900), she is on mine all the time because her iphone is just too slow in comparison for web browsing

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

See my post 1421.It's normal for you to give us an OS with lots of bugs (pr 1.0)?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

i saw this topic about PR 1.2 at MaemoBriefs and its totally awesome!!!

As i update my n900's firmware, i see only minor changes, and i first thought that PR 1.2 will be the same but i am wrong and glad to be wrong!

so many changes! looking forward to it!

EDIT: oops! i saw it in nokia labs, not MaemoBriefs....

You just made it even more apparent that you have no idea. Read again what I wrote.

P.s. I didn't realise I gave you an OS. if I did, give it back, it's mine.

Edit:

WTF is wrong with me even reading this thread?
