Isn't it pretty much the most obvious thing in the world that Nokia is not worth any protection whatsoever from anyone and should start right now apologising, correcting and compensating for that?

I'll be happy to explain this to you.

Let's pretend for a moment that PR1.2 was first released to your favorite country -- presumably, the one you live in.

You immediately install it and run into a reboot loop, which you manage to repair after a few hours of work.

Three weeks later, Hong Kong gets PR1.2 and it doesn't have the reboot problem, which has been fixed.

Do you promise you wouldn't immediately start posting messages complaining about having been made a guinea pig and asking why Hong Kong got better treatment?

The moral is that being first isn't always best.

We don't know how long it will be before we get PR1.2.

It is premature to be insulted by this release order.
