This is yesterdays article so the exciting news is supposed to be today then?

I hope they say flash 10.1 is available for N900. I will jump from my building with excitment.

I bet you that Nokia will miss this deadline and not have exciting news on the day that they said they would.

Ps: the only 2 news that can guarantee celebrations are official meego support and official flash 10.1+ support for n900.

Well you can cut meego off the list.

It’s not that. But it is good. Exact timing is yet to be revealed, so be prepared to possibly wait till Thursday.

For those that keep saying that Apple just runs on marketing/hype, then these nokia 'hypes' may be interesting case studies.

If you overpromise/underdeliver things can quickly backfire.

My guess is PR 1.3, or PR 1.2.1, or something like that.

big news: we have finally finished the ovi store update !!

digital909 2010-07-21 13:10

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
If it's Flash 10.1 then I'm good to go, and super happy. My only gripe with the N900 is that! But I don't think i should hold my breath.

ddwwf1 2010-07-21 13:13

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
system wide portrait with T9 text entry would be AMAZING but doubt it will happen

new apps in ovi store,it is all about new apps Believe me.(like Mypaint which came out long ago)

roguespy0 2010-07-21 13:21

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
I can't see it being anything big, they will probably say something about ovi. Iwish they would add flash 10

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
Nokia: Great news to all N900 ownerz, a new application has been added to Ovi store, do check out and buy full version.

:) LOL that's my guess. Normally Nokia never made anything good for N900 anyway. Take a look at the game Bounce! and Where is the promised game rollercoster? lol Nothing ever finished.

Err..

Bounce was only a tech demo. But I agree Nokia should've paid Rovio to make it a full game.

As for the rollercoaster, that's from Digital Chocolate I believe and it's finished but waiting for the new Ovi Store. So Nokia has no hand in developing the game itself, but they are ultimately responsible for the delay in getting the app into the store.

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
What good news could be for N900 owners ? Every unfinished or missing thing in maemo would be available in official app store :

-geek toys (ssh, vnc, aircrack, whatelse...)
-desktop toys (cups, sane,
-complete hardware support (bluetooth keyboard, FM receiver, infrared emitter...)
-better stability
-complete portrait mode with vertical keyboard
-better telephony support like any phone around
-flash 10
-compatibility layer for android and iphone apps
-various bugfixes

Of course, most of these wishes have been completed by volunteers, but lots of them are not perfect, hard to install and need to activate special depositories.

Go on, Nokia ! You are not so far from getting the best smartphone around !

So you are publishing videos of program that some briliant and great guy from maemo community did(thanks for him) and take credit on it? we are tired to see all the n900-abilities videos from nokia, for now we get only good apps from guys like mypaint author and nokia just show stuff on n90 and never release it (shazam for example giving). and i wouldn’t talk about flash 10.1 as nokia send you to adobe and adobe says it’s nokia responsibility. what is wrong with you guys, stop with promises and at list fix the most annoying bugs. make the smartphone usable or stop advertising it and fooling more people around by just taking their money. enuf time passed to make maemo at list half usable, but it’s not. wanna leave it – open the drivers and standarts so community would support it instead of you.

Free cases to improve antenna signal ?

Where is the 'fightback' that Uncle Anssi promised us ? Looks like same old Nokia to me. Hope they prove me wrong of course.

Apple runs on it. Nokia fails at it.

I'd say sacking the CEO for poor performance over the past 18months could be termed a start in fighting back. He obviously had his priorities all messed up.

Kinda like Nokia Marketing and Timing departments. The business nees to be re-addressed IMHO.

The best thing to do is just not develop any high expectations... I'm acting like I don't care, so I won't be disappointed - try it, it works like a charm :)

jakiman 2010-07-21 13:50

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
I wonder what it is. It better be one of following or I'll be disappointed:
- Flash 10.1 support
- HD video support (record, playback or both)
- OVI Maps with full turn by turn voice guidance
- PR 1.3 or similar update with some good amount of enhancements/bugfixes

Not too optimistic though. It's probably about some new app/game in OVI store. Well, if it's a really great app/game, I might not be disappointed. =P

Interesting, tried going to Ovi Store and it is telling me to upgrade my Maemo 5 version (I'm running PR1.2). But nothing so far in App Manager...

"Keep it locked to Conversations tomorrow, as we’ll have some more exciting news for Nokia N900 owners."

News : N900 does not suffer from antenna woes!

(Actually, it does suffer from 3dbm drop, but that's with the cover off)

cardiff-blues 2010-07-21 14:09

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
well enough of the pessimism. I think it could well be big news and am quietly optimistic. I mean, Nokia can't always meet our expectations by dissappointing us. :)
