[2013-05-08 20:11:20] <juiceme> but sill it bugs me that people will try in vain to flash wrong images with phoenix, and they do not belive when told that it makes no difference whatsoever...
[2013-05-08 20:11:53] <juiceme> they think it's some magic solution, somehow better than the command line flasher
[2013-05-08 20:12:09] <Jonni> yeah it makes no difference at all

FYI: jonni is an (ex-)Nokia employee and Harmattan system developer who knows his stuff. As it happens he's also the guy who helped to make openmode come true. In expression that's an "official" statement of the guys who built N9.

Phoenix might have some twists that care about problems originating from windows OS (or other apps) interfering with flashing process, which maybe are less advanced or missing in flasher-3.12. My recommendation always been to use a linux PC for flashing anyway with flasher-3.12, and that combination is probably less prone to give you any troubles than either of the other methods on any windows PC.
