That's why we have to be patient. The problem is that the guys didn't tell us how long the test will be.
Cheers!
LOL. I like your style.
"Reward" us with symbian features, like MMS? Those features that every other Nokia phone ever since the invention of the camera phone has been able to do??? Reward us for paying £486 and 6 months wait to reward us with basic phone functionality. You should write for the 'comedy channel' or the labour party.

Somebody else who actually thinks rationally. I doubt features will be added to 1.3, if they run this late on 1.2, 1.3 will be a FW to get N900 OVI store links (6 months & OVI suite isn't compatibile for Maemo 5) Ready for Meego and will be fixes for compatibilty, not new features. I also doubt a 1.4 release will exist. Once Meego is live it will be some very minor 1.3.1 releases to get compatible, cutting support but not admitting they are cutting support.

Looking at Ubuntu and Mandriva release notes and technical logs, you know when releases are coming, what they contain and most of the time who all the development teams are from blogs and forums. That is how to run an open OS. Not to mention a realistic method of feeding back requests and technical issues.
