By that measure, chairs would rule the turtles and their puny civilization. 90% of invention is driven by greed and a combo of laziness and impatience. The rest is pure luck.

I changed the number of posts per page...I am only seeing 47 pages. That means I will never get this upgrade!

Is the demand for PR 1.2 as big as the demand for the Ipad??

pr 1.2 will not be released by nokia until they see if meego 1 is going to be for us

nokia is planing to see if meego one can work on n900
and if not
then they will release pr 1.2
so that we keep quite and we n900 users get happy with it

so I think pr 1.2 will be released after meego 1

you lie!!! *Joe Wilson Voice*

Well what could you expect, they'll believe anything someone with an apple tells them :p

bjknight 2010-04-21 21:38

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
Ah, no. The question was put to them on the basis of whether PR1.2 would include something to solve the "Oh, ****. We can't make people pay for apps if they come from a repo" problem.

So, technically on topic.

I know better than to take this thread off topic. This is far too important a subject for people to make idol off topic remarks.

Now, anyone know where Joe Tallari is set to be playing next season?

Bec 2010-04-21 21:52

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
Ok, I got word directly from Nokia!

Dear Bec,

Thank you for contacting Ovi Support. If your thread located at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...616#post621616 reaches 2000 posts, the update for N900 will be indefinitely delayed. All we can promise if you don't stop this nonsense is PR 2.0 this time next year.
Also regarding your question with the end of the world - yes it will happen f the thread reaches 2012 posts!

Thank you once again for your feedback. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,
OviGrim

Yes. His boss, the Telnet Expert, outranks him, and when he's sick, boss can just telnet to port 23 and take over.

He also has a boss, also a Telnet Expert, Guru Black Belt Level, but he's the head of the department because he can e-mail with attachments via Telnet and alt+numeric.

OK not wanting to point fingers and embarrass people but i have been following this thread and several others for quite a while now and i had no idea that (based on what seems to pass for "humor") the average n900 owner was 10 years old.

seriously people either you know something or you have something genuinely funny to say about how pathetic we all are waiting for this mythical piece of software to arrive.

YES! and then i see its a 3rd party app and i take a look at my self and say "what are you doing" "do you really think this update is going to fill that missing piece of your life" then a little piece of my dignity and self respect dies forever then, a couple of days later it happens all over again.

What have i become?

Damn you Nokia!

I'm really tired of waiting for this update. If it doesn't get released tomorrow, i'm gonna re-flash my N900 (the phone is in very bad condition software wise) and convince my self this is the last update that i'll ever get from Nokia and check this site once a week then carefully decide what phone to get next!

How exactly this person was thanked 11 times is beyond me.

Then again I apparently have regressed 20 years in age and everything is beyond me.

Nothing new about PR1.2 move along :D

If only I could have afforded an N900 when I was 10. Back then all we had to work with was an abacus and we had to walk to school uphill BOTH WAYS through knee deep snow!

PR1.2 is AWESOME!!!
 
As the winner of the 1000th post (lol).
Ill make sure not to post on post number 2000.
That way someone else can get a chance to get their own early pr 1.2 update just like i did:D.

Again to quote Dumas "Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss"

So you guys think the release [whenever it is] is going to give you the bliss

On a pessimistic note, I personally think we should be taking the Nokia lead of moving on from maemo to meego..... I certainly would.....from nokia to don't know who yet :-)

That would explain the delay, wasting their time on folderol like this.

Maybe some Nokians cast their eyes on this thread, but I doubt if anyone reads it except maybe a few stray messages picked att random.

They are still here - but much less than before. I.e. vitaly_repin - the "MFE" guy - his last post was "03-04-10". Earlier he was posting at least once a day (and the “blame MFE” thread is not dead at all – people are still complaining a lot) being online nearly the whole time.
I think they are already focused on "MeeGo" - which makes sense being the new strategic direction - at the moment at least...
