Agreed with your point

While I understand those who did not flash the leaked firmware and gloat over those who did and faced problems, I still feel that the name-calling or humiliating part in this thread is a bit uncalled for, childish at best.

No offense intended though. I'd rather see this thread developing into everyone trying to help those who are facing issues. And those who faced issues shared their experiences and warn the rest on the dangers of flashing leaked firmwares.

Isn't that makes a better forum atmosphere?

What exactly would be wrong with actually contributing instead of just blindly waiting? Don't want to shape the future of your beloved platform? Don't want to find a problem? Just want to sit back and complain when PR1.2 still somehow misses some stuff that could have been caught the first time, instead of forcing yet another protracted wait for PR1.2.1 or PR1.3?

Seriously. What's so wrong with adding some bug reports? And (I think it was) olddognet (or something like that) was the one that reported that the leak was 4 weeks behind, and possibly further behind the HK N900.

It's not about turning that leak into gold. No way. But hell, if they jumped the gun, why not say "Hey, it's good, but I see this as a problem..." and if it's fixed in the final, so be it. If it's not, then what?

Wait again? Meh. I get what you're saying, patience is indeed a virtue. You're talking to the dude that's waiting for the N900 to get more right than wrong in regards to what I want... as opposed to jumping the gun when it was totally a whole "ooh, shiny shiny" affair when it came out.

Yet, I'm trying to say "Add to the bug reports since now Nokia just got quite a few more beta-testers" - which... they should have been doing this whole damn time imho.

Guess trying to make the platform better via the community is only my own stupid wish. I get the hint...
