When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
The nice people of Nokia Sweden have taken the decision to delay the N900 until version "1.1" of software. They say that it's in the near future and this year, this release is going to be!? What kind of "mambo jambo" is this, or does anybody now if this is going to happen in this short timeframe? Here is what Klas Ström, Head of marketing for Scandinavia wrote (translated and in Swedish): Quote:

I do understand that Nokia .se don't want to bring a device on the market that has issues with sim cards that you .se people use. Be patient. It's not the end of the world. |

Book a trip to Finland and get it from there :)

Re: When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
I'm guessing the past experiences on estimations right here on this forum do not necessarily motivate Nokians much to make estimates on PR1.1 delivery. ;)

1.2009.x.x = 2009 firmware
1.1 = 2010 firmware? :p |

Some responses
"Robbie": It looks like they/he is using his power to do stupid decisions for us "dumb sheeps" that don't understand what Linux is and not able to upgrade by ourself. If every other country with "3" also had to wait, I had accepted it. "hqh": I wont my 15% reduction from Nokia Shop and be able to lift sales tax on my firm (easy). "ragnar": I'm thinking Klas Ström Head of marketing in Scandinavia is out on deep water when he says that "1.1" is going to be out in the near future (this year). "Thor": I live in Stockholm and of course I've been to Finland some times that way.... I've preordered with Swedish Nokia Shop and I don't think it's going to be any phones in near future in Helsinki shops. Read what this Klas Ström wrote: "we want a larger volume". Finland and Sweden use same model (same keyboard). |

PR1.1 contents have not been announced. You can speculate, but don't say for sure. :)

I believe that they/he are hiding some thing, like Finland needed/wonted the whole first batch or something like that. |

Re: When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
I do understand why they are doing this.
But they were real d*ckheads for not announcing it in October when the SIM-card issue became known. I would have ordered from Finland if I had known then, as we have the same keyboard layout. |

Why not order it from Denmark or Norway. We get the same phone (keyboard)?

Re: When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
The problem you specifically are experiencing is with the compatibility with the new 3G SIM cards from 3 in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria. A phone from another country will not solve this problem.

And if customers get informed before they buy, that's no problem! |

If I am aware of the problem, am not affected by it and explicitly state I want delivery asap regardless of the status of the problem, the supplier should imho grant that request. |

But soner or later It going to be an Android. All time spended on trying to understand what Nokia is doing. I even installed the SDK with Python for Haldon and started to create an widget for monitoring news... Time to throw it in the garbage can! Too bad! |
Re: When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
Good to see some things never change, not for 4 years. :)
- Nokia announces new device or firmware - Phase 1: community gets excited and talks about great new stuff - Phase 2: Nokia announces vague release date (or doesn't), community gets tired of waiting and begins talking all sorts of nonsense - Phase 3: vague release date passes, community gets grumpy and some people threat, if Nokia doesn't release this soon, them I'm so gonna get a iPhone/Android/WinMo instead (as if anyone would care) - Phase 4: Nokia releases a few days or weeks late, community gets excited about the new stuff - Phase 5: Excitement phase is over, people talk about bugs and shortcomings, and start discussing about a successor. This phase lasts until the next announcement by Nokia, or until someone spots a new device in FCC documents. Goto Phase 1 Nothing's changed. :D |

Do you disagree though that it would be service-minded of Nokia to oblige informed customers asking to not have their deliveries delayed? It's not that I'm all that agitated. I can wait. It's just that quirks like these are unfortunate. And... the itch to get my hands on the device is growing... :) |

Of course the Sweden situation is bad, but in the end it will be just a minor delay that will soon be forgotten. Delays happen all the time in the industry, but you usually don't notice them because the products were not announced yet. I'm sure the 3 SIM problem has very high priority at Nokia. |
Re: When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
It's a bad decision for the people on the other networks but it 's a good decision for the Swedish market.
I mean, the decision taken does not make one company (especially small and easier to destabilise) less desirable when the problem is on Nokia's side. |
Re: When could "1.1" of "firmware" be out?
I repeat,
It's only in Sweden they make this EXTRA DELAY! And there are other countries with the same operator. |

So you should probably do the same - remove the image from your post. |

All the countries that are getting the N900 are going to have the same issue as in Sweden. But Nokia decided not to release here, thats unfair and can't be explained. |
