It was considered a leak because it's unfinished. If it were an OS or library update, apt-get update all day. Those still have to be committed before you can update.

This was a phone firmware revision that was unfinished. Nothing to do with opensource - there are updates for Maemo5 OS that once are finalized, they're committed and you can get them. But this is a firmware update for the phone... slight difference, especially when it's unfinished as it seems to be.

This is not some Android or Nokia Symbian crap to be such care full. This is a phone specialty made to let users enjoy hacking there phones so you options are good for those who just want to use phone,sms,browsing and email (Android) not for N900.

I believe OP is talking about attitude here and I can understand his point of view, there is no need to bash the people who flashed their devices with the RC. Maybe even some of them had no idea about the dangers and problems that could arise. Maybe they thought it wasn't much of a big deal at all taking a firmware that has leaked prior to release.
So, even if you're not in to help out here, maybe you could just keep from gloating at someone else's misery. Because that's not the spirit that we should keep in this open community, is it?

It's up to each person what to do. Personally I even wait a little while to see what happens when authorized public updates arrive, how the reactions are so that I know what will happen when I update. But I wouldn't blame or jump on anyone that goes right ahead updating.

What would you like the council to do exactly? We do have friends at Nokia HQ - but they're the people active in the community anyway. It was a weekend.

The Council fully supports Reggie and the other moderators in removing links to the dodgy firmware. Do you want more flashing lights of "don't install it!".

Of course, if we did that we'd be accused of being Nokia's mouthpiece.

That's where community come in TomJ to help developer finishing things.

Ya i know source code are not completely open but at least they can take time to let us know where they are, when they might finish, when they might release but they just maintain silence and let us fight over release date like apple and android.

I must also admit that the iphone menu's and scrolling is 100% more smooth then the n900 scrolling. never saw a iphone stutter while sliding pages and menu's you cant say that of the n900

I wont go by the numbers to be honest. What matters is that the browser now with this leaked firmware seems lot smoother and faster except for some lags while going back from dashboard after opening couple pages/apps which I believe is one of some other reasons why it isn't out yet..

Answer me one question do you know the current status of PR 1.2 @ Nokia HQ.

When was the last time you came to know the status and what was the status of it.

Why it was not communicated to other members of community?

pr1.1.1 is stable for me, and im more than happy with it

the key to a happy life is to always give your self something to look forward to, a psychologist once told me that and its worked for me for years,
now all those who 'tested' pr1.2 dont have anything to look forward to!

i agree removing the firmware link was the right thing to do.
However people getting on their high horses about this shows a lack of maturity. Frankly its embarassing.

@vickyg:

The Council acts on community matters, and may or may not know details of OS updates. If they did know details, either a strict NDA is in place, or their personal reputation is at stake. In both cases, they have worked years to build personal trust with Nokia. Do the math.
