I've given up. I've ordered an HTC Desire and I'm selling my N900 on Mazuma. I'm losing around £100. I bought the device knowing that I was an "early adopter" and expecting some loose ends. But I also expected frequent updates from Nokia, filling in the gaps and fixing the bugs. Instead I feel like Maemo has been abandoned by Nokia - I can't see any sign of the OS being promoted or developers encouraged to build apps. At least I know that plenty of people are developing apps for Android. I am disappointed, I really wanted to see the N900 succeed.

When it comes I predict that a number of people will think it solved their problems when in fact reinstalling the old firmware would also have solved their problems. They will never know that, though.

I just asked my 2 local Nokia reps if they had any info on the update. Both guys (one is named Zager and the other Evans) gave me the same answer. It went a little something like this....

In the year of 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year of 3535
Can't tell the truth, can't tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year of 4545
Won't need no teeth ,won't need your eyes
Won't find a thing to do
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year of 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your side
Your legs have nothing to do
Some machines doin' that for you
In the year of 6565
Won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your sons, pick your daughters too
From the bottom of a long glass tube wouwo
In the year of 7510
If god is commin' he should make it by then
Maybe he'll look around and say:
"Now it's time for the judgement day!"
In the year of 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty hand
He'll leave a salient place where man has been
Or tear it down and start again wouwo
In the year of 9595
I'm wondering if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything earth had to give
And he's put back nothing wouwo
Now it's been 10.000 years man has cried a million tears
For what he never knew now man's dream is through
But through eternal light the twinklin' of starlight
So very far away now it's night to yesterday

the problem we think that it took sooooooo long because this thread was started! .. just wait for it.. and don't keep saying tomorrow and tomorrow .. it will come out when it is meant to come out..

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
Does anybody knew how many devs Nokia have dedicated to Maemo 5 (excluding the Meego people)?

Or is Maemo some low priority thing, they play with when they waiting for Meego to compile and it's not coffee break or so?

Silence from the company who thinks that the best way to communicate with customers is to put the head in the sand like an ostrich!

There is one thing more that upset me! All brainwashed fan boys who answers people that had enough of Nokias treatment with things like: Good bye, buy an iPhone looser (I'm cooler than you)!
I think people don't need/want/deserve your stupid answers if they have lost the patience of Nokia.

Btw, I have very little patience left for this Nokia farce!

I think the dev teams are different. Considering how hard the HK release is being pushed, I doubt maemo is low priority

hahaha very funny. yeah tomorrow becomes nextday becomes next week becomes next month becomes next year becomes next decade becomes next century and becomes totally forgotten by Nokia.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
The thread "Today... No 1.2..." with eleven posts has been merged into this thread.

And yes, that's considerably fewer posts than that thread once held. Please try to keep conversation reasonably polite and constructive.

I understand a great deal of anticipation has built up in the community during this wait for PR1.2. However, try to keep in mind that while PR1.2 should bring a number of bug fixes and a few new features, it is a point release. The importance being placed on this minor firmware revision is causing conflict now and will likely lead to disappointment later.

Once upon a time people had no patience, and the great god Nokia smote them with a large stick of waiting.


The end.

Pfft, that's so 20th century. Nowadays, 'late' means just 'later than I wanted', having no connection to actual dates or announcements.

Great news guys!! A friend of mine, which is working at Nokia just said me they are waiting for Duke Nukem Forever to be released because it is coming with PR1.2 by default!!

True story, I promise!!

I kind of hope they take away PR1.2, and 1.1.1, and 1.1, and just leave us with good old 1.0.

It worked for me. :D

It also worked. :p

With pr 1.2 we could get shazam and accuweather apps.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
Seeing this commercials with N8 and N900, I start to believe that PR1.2 still worths waiting for. Exact release date doesn't make a lot of difference, but since QT is being hardly promoted by Nokia, we might get a handful of useful apps in the summer. This is good indeed.

I hope you meant 'highly promoted', since they've been pimping it as THE toolkit / framework to use.

Yes, good indeed.

This thread is hilarious. You have those that are having a good time with this, and then those who are truly angered. It's funny.

It may be that Nokia will wait for a couple of week to be sure of good PR 1.2. feedbacks from China, and have a reasonable time to fix latest bugs before invading other countries.

How many weeks of feedback do they need? Hasn't it been like 8+?
