First of all, I would NOT RELEASE A BUGGY PHONE for the world

i wonder if those angry 3-year-olds here realize how most people who own an N900 neither experience bugs at all nor know that a firmware update is in the works (and if they know, they don't care about it much other than thinking "oh, hopefully it won't ruin my settings".)

+1.

Be patient everyone and wait for it to be stable.

this firmware better be better then anyone is expecting because nokia need it to still stay in the game.

I hope the 4-month-old fanbois in here realise that no matter how long PR1.2 will take, it will have bugs and regressions. The only thing the delay does is making us wait longer for getting fixes to the bugs and regressions in PR1.1.

All right, kids, chill... whatever your age.

/me writes script to block any post mentioning PR1.2

For one thing, making sure the upgrade path to 1.2 works for everyone takes time. That delay is cut away if you have it installed to begin with.

I'm not Nokia, but my honest guess is that any delays in Flash come from Adobe (the whole Flash thing is their doing). They have been notoriously bad supporting any Linux version. For example, they did never get Flash 9 for x86 out of beta. Also Flash 10 for 64-bit Linux is still in alpha.

To pick up on Texrats advice...

Please be aware of that HK version is some kind of different to the global version so there maybe other things they have to look at for the global one.

Asking again and again for explanations wont help as you wont get much more than already released.

Nokia has a demand of working PRs so it might take some time to fullfill this. As already mentioned in the email, there are some bugs not easy to track down. I am currently investigating in hildon-home hickups which take about 2-5 days to occure so to determine which of the 3rd party programs is causing it takes weeks of testing already. He wrote about longterm issues and maybe they got a way to get something like home mess up in a shorter time but still it will take weeks to test and fix.

If you like to have your phone broken or bricked because of a leaked PR's RC this is ok with me. Maybe there is no closed community test for PR1.2 as Nokia does not want to take the risk yet. Have you thought of that they may bricked devices while testing and decided to not release yet?

Please chill out on the PR1.2 topic. We all have to wait! Posting off-topic and Nokia requests all over the place doesn't help any one but keeps the moderators busy.

I don't care about hildon-home. This is free software, so we can fix it ourselves. But regressions in closed components should not take 4 months to fix.

BTW, according to gitorious hildon-home was not touched since February 19 except for some debug related compilation flag.
