Weird.

The 2009.42 release is around 160MB
The 2010.02 release is 170 MB.
But suddenly this 2010.12 (PR 1.2) release is only 120 MB.

After weeks, they still have no single information and some even go till the extend to email Nokia in other countries, just to get disappointed that the reply was "No plans for APAC countries".

Those who bought grey imports, went to official local Nokia stores, imagine the shame on Nokia local shops when other customers saw it and ask "You guys were official and authorised Nokia stores, yet you don't carry a model which non-authorised/official store are selling". They don't even have any single information despite paying the royalty and so on for being authorised dealer and so on.

In the end, don't know how suddenly there was announcement that it will be launched in our country in late March. The announcement was made about 1 month to it's official launching.

As for this PR1.2, everyone was left guessing and treat like dummies to wait weeks by weeks, it's over 1 month since the SDK? Then suddenly,there is information about HK launching with PR1.2 while nobody know anything about it before. And now suddenly, there was a "leaked" version? Seems like the underground works better than being official or supporting/loyal and waiting patiently.

Just me rambling... disappointment at how things are done. N900 is a great device but it still needs a lot of improvements. Having to face with some of it's limitation everyday and knowing there was a fix for it since late February is a pain. They should've release multiple updates if they can't handle a major update properly. Perhaps they were too busy with MeeGo and Symbian^3. Previously I also read there was major updates for 5800 and recently the X6... N900 feels like it was left out in the cold.

If the N900 wasn't planned for release in your country then that isn't the local Nokia store's fault.

I dont know why Nokia have not released this update i have no explanation but i CAN assure you it is stable, please believe me after flashing my own N900 and for your info i am an engineer.
You will lose nothing by flashing even when the OTA update comes out as you can do that one too.
Please read the thread and everyone who has updated is more than happy .

EDIT:The normal process of course being flashing
