Or use water under 3500bar pressure to do the same.

So they only delayed shipping for firmware/software issues?

Which doesn't seem to be out of place regaring a certain thread which appears under "Active Topics": " 'Out of memory' and UI freezes on N900" (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34150)

not wanting to nitpick, but maybe hardware changes went for certification before the summit..which may lead to different HW between the summit and the retail version.

In any case I doubt that there were any HW changes that close to the release...it's not something you usually do a few months before releasing a product (at least in theory...we all know that practice is a different beast )

You didn't really think that they would be able to change hardware during two to three weeks or even a month?

I think you could be pretty sure that if the hardware would gain some new abilities that we would certainly promote them. The equation of "let's delay to make HW improvements and let's not tell about these improvements" doesn't make much sense.

Which from everything I have seen is ONLY happening to people using "extra-testing" repo as un-optified packages are filling up the root partition. This is not something which can be fixed on the device itself, but delaying will have allowed more time to get the packages themselves fixed and moved over to "extras".

Basically, if you use software from "extra-testing", expect "out of memory" and other random glitches. Only users who know how to fix such problems are meant to use that repository.

That may be part of it in some cases, but there's an actual bug that leaks around 3.5MB every time the GTK icon cache is updated (eg by installing/uninstalling stuff). So staying away from extras-testing isn't enough to avoid / filling up for the time being.

so does water! whats the point in your info? I could use bare bodies to do that as long as the pressure is high enough.

Hmm... they didn't even promote all the features the current, "long time announced" hardware has. The FM-receiver for example only got very rarely mentioned and is nowhere to be found on the (my local) Nokia site.
