I believe when the golden beard of Andre Klapper turns grey, and the day of judgement is upon us, then the holy 1.2 firmware will be beemed directly into our retinas. All shall rejoice on that fateful day, the 19th of April 2055, as un-stuttering media playback and portrait mode will become available to the 3 persons still clutching onto their n900s in their withered claw like hands. "Take me now, oh Lord, for I am ready, " they cry, "For I have now felt the slightly increased battery life and at last synced email with the work exchange mail server..."

So yeah, my bet is 19th April 2055.
