First of all, PR 1.2 works perfectly for me. Everything is smoother, battery life is some 20% better, maps is more usable (they fixed the totally horrid point-to-point routing). The few issues with some applications were fixable with some short googling.

But, you guys completely fail to understand the mentality of Finnish engineers here. They design products mainly for themselves. When something unexpected happens, something doesn't work, the device gets bricked, these engineers mainly get excited "geez, that shouldn't happen... curious".

Bottom line: I feel so sorry for all you guys who got suckered into buying an N900 w/o knowing what you were getting into. This is a DIY phone. Period.
