I think the underlying excitement with all this is that, after releasing the N900 into the big wild world a year ago, owners felt a little ticked off at Nokia for not releasing more than 2 software/firmware updates up until now. But news has surfaced that PR1.3 is a-comin' and that has made us all breathe a small sigh of relief and to think, "yes! Nokia hasn't forgotten about the N900 after all!" Despite the big push on the N8, C6 and the upcoming E7, the N900 is still a part of big discussions at the Nokia HQ. I for one am extremely pleased to be part of this maemo community of nice peeps, because let me tell you, when I parted with my hard-earned $350 for the (fairly new) Nokia E75 in March, I was soon to find out that Nokia didn't want any part of that model, taking it off everywhere on their websites, and not renewing voice navigation in Maps. Not even updating Maps! So I'm pleased with the N900, and I'm pleased that, even though I'm a newbie, I get to be excited about an update too. I just hope it's more than just something that allows dual-booting. I want it to be able to charge itself and be able to make tea!!
