Seems to be that way, sadly :(
Although upcoming FW has been already released for the selected bug-reporters.

Personally I don't give a damn whether it will include portrait web browser view or not, but would be honestly disappointed if Nokia won't include voice guided navi for OVI Maps, 'cause bundled GPS receiver is completely useless now.

PS. It's not just Nokia, Sygic also promised to release their navi software at the end of December '09 and yet still nothing happened so far.

The firmware has been sent to selected testers on Christmas. This process will most likely take a few weeks to a month or two depending if there are any major bugs related to the new firmware.

Agree.
I hadn't appreciated when I upgraded from the N95 that i was actually losing functionality by forgoing the turn by turn navigation. i would have had second thoughts about the N900 if i had realised that this wasn't there straight out of the box. I saw the reference to sat nav on the specs and assumed it could do what the N95 already does. I guess the N900 will get there - sooner rather than later hopefully.

The world and more judging by a lot of posts on this forum!

Re: I thought there was a firmware update this month
 

Well, fact is that every major review site has written "the device is lacking this and this and this, but this will all be fixed in a firmware update in december" and Nokia has done nothing to dement or confirm this. However you look at it, customers have been expecting an update in december and whether Nokia is at fault or not, customers are now disappointed because of this unfulfilled promise.

We all know that firmware updates being late isn't exclusive to Nokia though. Htc Hero, iPhone and several others come to mind.

Re: I thought there was a firmware update this month
 

I've looked at the software for updating the n900 firmware and am a bit concerned that it only specifies 32 bit systems, is it possible to update via a 64 bit system?

Re: I thought there was a firmware update this month
 

I want an update, ovi store and a new year. Is it too much to ask for?

Re: I thought there was a firmware update this month
 

I can reassure you that at least the new year will be delivered on time. :)
