This does not work with the n900, I am informed this is a bug and will be addressed at the next firmware upgrade, how does this relate to your telling me, I do not need to reflash the n900?

I am rather puzzled as to why Nokia says it will upgrade the firmware and you saying we do not need to upgrade the firmwear. Thx.
When the new firmware is available, you will be able to upgrade to it using the standard 'app manager' upgrade path, without needing to do a full reflash. 'Upgrade' and 'flash' are not necessarily the same thing: you don't need to completely reinstall windows every time windows update detects something new - it'll be the same with maemo.

And this year no pesky leap seconds added at the end of December, so it will really be on time!

He didn't say that. He said you don't upgrade the firmware by reflashing the device, you upgrade it by installing newer packages, just like on a normal size computer.

Me too with my G1

I use Navigator, voice search, Shopsavyy, Shazaam and other fun apps too much to stop cold until the N900 matures with apps. My G1 is a nice reliable bridge until this happens.

N900 rocks without even considering the smartphone function, but I got mine at $422 after rebate. My opinion could be different if I paid considerably more, but the more I use the N900 for media and web function, the less I think that

So is reflash purely for unbricking an n900?

If this is the case I misunderstood.

But what bothers me is, If I ever have the misfortune to 'brick' my n900, I can only use a 32 bit system to reflash it.

If there is one thing I learned from dealing with Nokia is to never believe what they say in regards to dates.

The only thing I really wish for in the firmware update is some improvement with my reception. It seems the N900 radio is worse than that of my G1 and my battery is suffering because of it.

According to this reply 64-bit (at least with linux) is possible to flash.

Yep, I reflashed it several times.... You can manually extract flasher or install with ignoring Architecture.

Nokia has not lied to anyone.

I can't remember Nokia EVER setting a release date for any new firmware on any of their products. Why don't they set firm dates, you ask? I'm pretty sure that if they had set a date of say, December 27th, 2009, and it didn't get release by yesterday because of say, a bug they were fixing, the forums would be full of "Nokia sucks! They lied to us! There was no firmware update yesterday!"

All these "when's the new firmware coming" threads are just a waste of bandwidth.

Will a new firmware come? I hope so. When will it come? I'm sure someone at Nokia has a good idea, but us lowly peons are not allowed to know.

Now, I know some of you have practically un-useable devices, and I sympathize with you. But taking your frustration out on Nokia through these forums doesn't help speed things up.

You got your rebate back already? I have not filed mine yet. Rumor has it that those that purchased from D3LL with the deal, just like me, are not eligible for the rebate.
-How did you file yours?
-Did you have to copy the IMEI code on the box or did you cut it. I definitely will not cut mine if that's what have to be done.
