The new firmware is out (joke only)
 

IT'S A JOKE! ONLY A JOKE!
I could not imagine I would have made upset so many people for a joke! Sorry! Really!
I cannot change the title of thread, so please a moderator do erase it. I will bravely accept any punishment I'll be committed to :eek:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am just downloading "Software Edition 2007 version 3.2007.10-7 for Nokia N800" :D

(OK it's a joke) :p

But I swear for one second when reloading that page, I saw version 4.something.
I must be delusional.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

You're out of time... That's already installed on my N800, since it is the "old" one (in fact, the *actual* one)

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Not cool, man. I'm sitting in an airport, waiting for my flight and I thought I was going to need to scramble to grab all the pieces so I could upgrade mid-flight.

Oddly, even now that I know it was a bad joke, I'm still slightly disappointed! Aargh.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Somehow you must be punished for sending this post. ;)

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I demand JUSTICE!!! :mad: :D

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I wonder what's worse, this post or some in-the-know Nokia employee who's making up riddles about nothing special at all.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

We should be tolerant of jokes, but at the same time, jokes should be in good taste.

With all the things that have happened in the past on this board, and now jokes like this, people may not take this board seriously in the future...spoiling it for everyone who wants to have a good discussion or seek help here. The board's reputation is something we should all consider, as members.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I shall never do it again, I swear your honour.

Though it's true that I saw another row in that page, sporting firmware 4.something. It was on my n800. So I stupidly closed my n800 browser and ran to a pc and reconnected with that, and version four wasn't there anymore.
Now I have no proof of what I saw - maybe those people at nokia had the new page online for just a while - maybe I'm too tired and see things that aren't just there.

So I decided to post this joke... I humbly beg the pardon of everybody for that, and think that a right punishment would be me to flash the 2005 edition and stick to that for a week.
And - this thread should be erased maybe, too.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I agree with that.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Please... That would be a very good thing to do. Can you at least edit the title?

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I ll second that. Rumours, why not, but please no misleading information!

Re: The new firmware is out (NOPE! it's only a joke!)
 

My comments was supposed to be take lightly as well. It's because all the "stress" of waiting for the update that people get nervous, i guess.

No harm ment and if it takes deleting this message to calm things down, i'm in favor.

Ton.

Have you tried editing the 1st post and changing the Title portion?

Re: The new firmware is out
 

editing 1st post won't change the title.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

lol @ sudden panic

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Wolf!!!111!!one

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Joke, eh?

Are you sure about that?

:D

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Nope, I could swear I saw it, as I wrote before. But in a minute it was gone. Hence the joke.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I wonder how many F5 keys will wear out today...

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I hope Nokia doesn't misinterpret my refresh rate as an attempted DOS attack. :p

Re: The new firmware is out
 

It's like what happened yesterday with Skype? It was available a short time and then gone... :(

Let's see what happens later today... ;)

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I don't know but there are already guys freaking out and loosing their temper :-(

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I AM loosing my temper.. :D all these threads are freaking me out.. and te action of Mara just keep me refreshing.. i have an exam tomorrow.. i cannot waste my time in this way
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Sh*t up!! That's not fun.... :o

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I am sure, some people at Nokia have had really good laugh today..

Its 5PM at Finland.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I'm starting to think the same... :|

Re: The new firmware is out
 

you don't seem to loose your temper. Your time certainly :-), and maybe your good marks for this exam...

20 years later, you will say: " I ended up in this *xx%&/## job because on July 5th, I spent 17 hours clicking on one refresh button"

OR: "I got this release installed, I realized the huge potential of a linux based platform, I started my company and never looked back"

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Yeah, they have a special party in NOkia House, in the conference room and they re all watching a giant screen with all our posts.

They re giving thumbs up to bright, positive and funny remarks and boos to some.

While drinking sodas, beers and eating chips.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

You know, I offered once not to tease the forum this way, and the response was a near-unanimous "no no, it's a fun diversion". At the time I didn't hear from the trolls. They need to speak up sooner. :p

Re: The new firmware is out
 

:) I fear I will be disappointed when the updare does hit. There is so much 'unofficial' hype that there is almost no way the update can live up. My 800 rocks as is. I'm going outside and relax.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Yeah, that's what I thought at first, too. :D

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Certainly this does not help people to wait impatiently... :rolleyes:

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I never claimed to be helpful. There are a few here who will back up the allegation that I'm not. :p

Re: The new firmware is out
 

So summarizing what you told us already about the update:

- Maemo 4.0 (whatever that might be (why are we so afraid of this?))
- Opera update
- Google Talk (and it's integration in the OS) replaced by Skype
- Flash update
- ??

What else did you say was in the update??

Re: The new firmware is out
 

A fully functioning tricorder - with BlueTooth!!

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Texrat, be cautious, I warn you. Some very serious people don't like this attitude. they will file a serious complain to the seriously supreme serious court of serious justice.

Naaah, go ahead, we want more!

Re: The new firmware is out
 

While I hope in an Opera update (or any other browser which is web 2.0 complaint - webkit?), I don't think we will have flash updated since the last version is not available for ARM processor. Maybe they just fine tuned the actual one.
Furthermore, I think Skype had just been added (supposing it is released together wit the OS update), it is not going to replace anything (Google talk)

Re: The new firmware is out
 

Are you telling me that Nokia is moving away from Maemo and will use LCARS on the N800?
I guess that makes quite a few developers NOT happy.... Do you know if Python can be compiled for LCARS?
BTW, LCARS on ARM???

Ton.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

I didn't say any of that was in the update.

I actually obliquely alluded to improvements that wouldn't be immediately obvious to most users.

Re: The new firmware is out
 

- Maemo 4.0: Not obvious to the USER. To the developer, yes.
- Opera update: Not obviouw to the user. Opera is Opera, no?
- Google Talk replaced by Skype: Not obvious to the user. Who uses Google Talk anyway.
- Flash update: ok, this one MIGHT be noticeable by the users. At least, that's what i hope. ;-)

=== Ok, ignore me. I'm talking out of my neck here ===
Is it there yet?? :cool:
