Well reading this thread, I think well can congratulate Nokia on the much anticipated PR1.2 release, it certainly blew my socks off in sheer terms of performance enhancement and the mind-boggling list of new features added. The OTA update went without a hitch, with as few as 30% of owners having to perform a full re flash, and slightly less have bricked the phone completely. Although some reports suggest that the bricking phenomon is a simple user error in that they inadvertently removed the entire USB port from the N900 after charging. Many sceptics were sceptical about delays after delays with this release, "I would rather wait and have them properly quality test it" was the cry from the faithful, the sceptics were scornfully told "Quality assurance takes time", thankfully the sceptics were just being sceptical and Nokia proved them wrong, additional extensive Quality Testing ensured virtually no bugs made it into this slightly delayed release. All in all it has been a resounding success with just a few minor glitches caused by people buying the wrong device, installing something "stupid" to slow it down and failure to master vi. Some Nokia sources suggest that in fact it may be several generations before mankind has the ability to use the N900 to its full potential, as most problems are caused by users. In fact most users should consider a course in C to get the most out of the N900, preferably by rewriting the entire OS from the ground up. For me the main highlights are: Battery life is now extended, and can almost last a day when completely switched off. (removing the battery can apparently extend the battery life an additional 2 hours) Portait mode can now be enabled in 3 more apps, by pressing ctrl + R + something else whilst standing on one leg simultaenously photographing and communicating telepathically with the N900 Email is now enhanced so you can now attach TWO attachments. File manager can now handle files. This release has obviously whetted the appetite for users for PR1.3, some say it may be released as early as next year, and rumours abound that native MMS support may be bought fom the ovi store. A Nokia spokesman when congratulated on the game-changing PR1.2 release simply said "Wibble".
