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:

Hi,

We have decided to start selling N900 in Sweden later this year of 1.1 software.

This decision is based on that we want a larger volume available on the N900 at starting of sales and to all consumers
have a good experience the first time they use the product. Even consumers who do not know what type of SIM card they have.
This can not be guaranteed if we drop it now.

N900 1.1 software is close in time as we have also taken into consideration.

Ask that you keep in touch with the shop to get more information about the exact delivery date ahead.

Sincerely,
Klas

Hej ,

Vi har beslutat att säljstarta N900 i Sverige senare i år på 1.1 mjukvaran.

Beslutet grundar sig på att vi vill ha en större volym tillgänglig på N900 vid säljstart samt att alla konsumenter
får en bra upplevelse första gången de använder produkten. Även de konsumenter som inte vet vilken typ av SIM kort dom har.
Detta kan vi inte garantera om vi släpper den nu.

N900 1.1 mjukvaran ligger nära i tiden vilket vi också tagit i beaktning.

Ber dig hålla kontakten med shoppen för att få mer information om exakta leveransdatum framöver.

Mvh,
Klas

I don't understand that sentence.

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.

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

I took a trip from Stockholm to Helsinki on Silja line once... it's not too expensive and if you are that way inclined, you can stock up on duty free stuff on the way there and back ;)

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).
