Nokia doesn't need Intel to continue developing meego or some new leg of it and call it whatever. Its just Linux. What's running on top is what makes the n9. Qt and the ui.

You missed the point. It's not Intel who broke the alliance but Nokia because Nokia doesn't want to continue developing Meego. If not for their agreement with Intel Nokia wouldn't even be releasing the N9; the whole Meego project may have been shafted aside due to Elop's abject fear of Lumia losing to N9.

IMHO the MeeGo alliance was doomed from the beginning. An ARM phone manufacturer and a CPU maker that wanted to have their CPUs in mobile phones without actually having any CPU appropriate for that.
I think Nokia released the N9 because of leaving the MeeGo alliance. In that alliance Nokia probably would have been forced to release a phone with an Intel CPU.

That makes sense actually, I didn't think about that.

But since you ask it is actually very simple. Just download NSU and install it on your PC. NSU will update itself to the latest version, then connect your N9 to your PC in sync mode and it will look for the updated firmware and do the rest. Be patient because it is a 1.1GB download. After completion NSU may say "update failed". Just ignore it, reboot your phone and enjoy PR1.1.

But I still wonder why you are asking.
I'm contemplating of getting another N9. I seem to miss my N9 after parting with it. I was too impatient then & pulled the trigger. Thanks anyway.
