Unfortunately that 'PR1.2 RC' was swiped from behind the scene somehow and is not something that is 'stamped' with Nokia's 'blessing'.

You reap what you sow... or something.

My main concern was not "Why nokia didn't release it faster" or anything else related to nokia. (those were given as the reason why I decided to flash)
It was about how people enjoy flaming other people for taking a bold step and having problems.

I will bet my 11 fingers that if the "PR1.2 Leaked" thread was 100 pages long with 100% success stories everyone would flash, even those who now criticize the bold.

That's exactly my point. You are so easily assuming that I have previously in my life had the exact same opportunity of getting a leaked Firmware & that I have made it a habit.
When actually this is my 1st time.
I have learned the lesson, does that mean I have to rot in hell?

that would probably be to mean. hope the lesson is learned for now. (and not forgotten).

but realistically you only need couple of accounts here and you can get many people to drive to your mine.

and eitama should I pay your childs education and sex disease pills if you poke a random girl without a condom?

People keep stressing the fact that the N900 is not a phone, and that it's open and you can install what ever you want on it.
I don't see the difference between install mer, meego, and a leaked PR1.2 firmware on the phone. ALL of them are risky, all of them

Yes the N900 is open and you can install whatever you want on it, but you cannot compare PR1.2 with meego and mer: the first one comes from a relatively closed source where we don't know exactly what has been done (think modem firmware), whereas meego and mer are completely open developments, with people actually having the knowledge of the product.

As someone already stated, helping out people who flashed something not openly available is difficult and a huge time sink...time that could be used to improve Mer, meego, applications, etc.

And concerning modem firmware: it was a more or less known fact that PR1.1 flashed the modem and caused problems with downgrades, so it's not unreasonable to think that the same thing would happen with PR1.2.

And I don't even talk about the legality of flashing a leaked pre-version PR1.2...

So I would guess that it was compiled on 11th March.

You guess wrong. The firmware version number, if I remember correctly, contains the week it was built on, and not the date as month-day.

It occurs to me that stoking up the level of angst and anticipation to that shown hereabouts of late for a software release, then anonymously releasing a plausible "leaked" version, complete with backdoors, keyloggers, bots, whatever, would be a pretty effective social engineering attack. I'm not suggesting this has happened here, but it's not implausible in the general case.

Practice safe hex; don't dl from unknown sources...

There were multiple warnings about how unofficial that release was in that thread. Some by the sole moderator in that thread, the rest were by others. I mean, last I checked... and I'm not trying to be mean here - but there's never been an Nokia update that was considered "leaked" and you had to go to megaupload.com for... if it's Nokia, it'll come from Nokia.

Do you have to rot in Hell for your decision? No. But you might want to see whomever else is commiserating about it and see if you can help out in their endeavors.

If anything, I've been on the side of leaked firmware so many times that I tend to rationalize it in one way... "If it breaks, will I miss it?"

And with my phone, I personally would not have chanced it.

I read like 12 pages of that PR1.2 Thread where people said it's the "real deal" before doing so myself.
And you can call me naive if you want.

I fail to see the resemblance between aids and leaked PR.

I have put lots of time into adding information into wikis on this site, and trying to develop solutions that will help lots of people.
And I would definitely put 1 on 1 time with any other dude here that is having a problem with N900 that I can solve. NO Matter what the source of the problem might be.

for god sake this is open source world there is noting called "leaked" in opensource world. If nokia want to keep such secrets then it will be better to stick with there crap phone. why the hell they released a Opensource phone when they don't understand what opensource is..
