Thanks the main point. Now specifically speaking for the PR 1.2, if Nokia issues a statement saying that is coming, lets say next week, then what is your personal problem with that? Aren't you prefer to know when its coming that just waiting for it to happen? Aren't you prefer to have an official press statement or event clarifying everything including changelogs, roadmaps and release dates? Simple stuff

I believe most companies wait until it's done then organize a press release date around it. While I think Nokia does releases it as soon as its deemed fit for public consumption. Thus in order to do what you say Nokia would work on it. Wait until it's done, then pick a date and organize a press release or an event where they announce "you can now download it". Which would take longer than their method.

Not to mention they have given a date before and then found some issue which postponed the N900's release which causes alot of backlash. Heck I did it myself when the N900 was delayed (due to a last minute identified issue with the test devices they handed out). Though I was annoyed since I had made my plans so I would switch cell phone providers and give my mom the new GSM TMobile phone I got from TMobile for her trip to Vietnam then.

Though I do think Nokia should give rough times where we can expect it (e.g. say sometime in April) with a caution that it will be pushed back if they find something drastically wrong.
