since this is my first post on tmo, hi everyone!

i (tried) to update to pr1.2 today OTA. my phone got stuck at 91% for an hour or so, so i rebooted it. it then came up with some error messages, and stated that it had "exceeded the maximal number of rescue attempts" and said i should take it to a nokia care point.

but after displaying this message for a few seconds, it rebooted and started normally. and then the strangeness began!
from the looks, it clearly was pr1.2 (new font, folders, you name it). but under product info, it said pr1.2 BUT the software update number was still the pr1.1 (20.2011.40-4). also, the twitter and facebook app icons only showed a red exclamation mark, and clicking them resulted in strange "apps installed unsuccessfully" errors. it was not possible to update them. the other apps seemed to be in a pr1.2 state.

i then connected it to NSU, which also said it's on pr1.1. reflashed it through NSU, and after downloading 1,1gb it re-installed the firmware. in the end, the phone booted normally into pr1.1, altough NSU said the installation wasn't succesfull. now the phone works just as it did, except it had green "empty" icons in the app view, named after the folders i couldn't wait to create.

long story short, it now detected the pr1.2 update again and is updating as i'm typing.

has anyone experienced such a strange behaviour?

for those who can't wait: it did feel smoother/faster in the 15 minutes it ran with pr1.2, and the new font looks just awesome! also the new keyboard is very nice!

edit: it's an austrian 16gb black without any carrier obstructions
