The whole point is that all this ranting about people having bugs introduced by PR.1.3 is exactly the kind of crap this thread is about. Mindless *****ing, fueled by some irrational need to blame Nokia for everything that goes wrong with their device.

I have not had a single bug since PR1.3. And I know that if it was really that big of a deal, there wouldn't be ten threads about it, there'd be hundreds, and their content would involve countless statements from others confirming the bugs. Right now, most of the bug reports are people having some tiny component get broken - mind you, most likely not a Nokia-made one, but some third-party app - and blaming it on PR1.3. And half the time, you read that bug and see that the same thing works just as well for you still, so it's obviously not JUST PR1.3 that did this, but some combination of PR1.3 and other stuff. I mean, there's just as many posts around here of people going "everything is smoother" and "____ works better now" after PR1.3. But do you even notice those? No, apparently not. Because there's enough brainless twats not realizing that a smartphone, especially one like this, is a very complex system, and just because a change is introduced, it doesn't mean that it was that change itself that was the 'broken' element.

And frankly, expecting an update to not introduce bugs in third-party software on a system as open to hacking as this one is ridiculous. People are going to push this device out of the use cases any fixed set of employees can come up with in a limited time span. And when they do, some are bound to do some hacks that utilize an already existing bug, or implement it in a way that's just different than what the next update will bring in.

Look at Windows, for f'k's sake: They painstakingly preserve backwards compatibility, but if you don't hear about **** breaking when a new update rolls around, it's only because there's so much windows software out there that you don't notice, since ever bit of software has its own niche on the internet. Here you're confined to one device and one forum, so all the folk who see something go wrong and go "omg Nokia u suck so much this update ruined my phone" are concentrated and visible.

I am more than happy to admit that there's reason to get frustrated with the N900, and that there's reason to be frustrated with Nokia. I do not like how Nokia did the MyNokia thing in PR1.2 and how they fiddled with something regarding the FM transmitter in PR1.3 (it's mentioned by Mohammad in the unlock your FM transmitter thread).

But I will not pretend that all these frustrated folk are justified in their mindless, spoiled and self-righteous *****ing. Yes I realize their frustration is genuine. And I sympathize. But that shouldn't excuse irrational hostility, and frankly irrational though in general, whether against the latest update, the Nokia, the N900, or whatever else.
