I think that the defects reported in the outlaw software could have happened in the real release. How many times have I seen the topic, "since I installed the new firmware release, I am in a reboot loop!" Oh, dozens.
Yet most people didn't jump in and say "ha ha, you deserved it, you never should have installed the official release!" But with the outlaw release they did.
I have installed so many beta copies of stuff over the years that I don't pay much attention to warnings. I think probably thousands. I have wrecked my setup a few times, had to start over from scratch, but big deal! This particular outlaw update I've avoided so far, mainly because I'm expecting the real version to arrive soon.
Sure, some people who can afford to take the risk but there are a bunch that can. There's a schit ton of people whining about devel apps bricking their phones. It is irresponsible to encourage people to flash their phone without making them aware of the risks.
Texrat spent the whole night telling folks to be cautious but people just kept jumping in blindly.
Time and time again, so many poors come on this forum and beeech about how much money they spent on their n900 and how it can't send MMS. If you spent so much money on it then it is foolish to upgrade with unknown firmware

Well, if their QA people aren't looking at the problem reports from the outlaw version, they are idiots. I mean, free beta testing and all that. So it could cause a delay, because things that should be fixed are being fixed now, but if the outlaw version hadn't been released, they would not have realized how serious some problems could be.
The main problem with beta testing is that most beta testers are well versed in computers and testing, but when a software version hits real users, an entirely different dynamic takes over -- then you find out what happens when naive users try to do what you thought was easy and foolproof. As the funny cliche goes, anyone who thinks something is foolproof just doesn't have enough respect for the ingenuity of fools.
Nokia probably released several RC's to their beta testers, never bothering to get the NSU and stuff working for each of those versions until they got to a certain point in the testing cycle to actually warrant that work. There is no reason at all for Nokia to try and now go back and make sure the NSU updating is going to work for people who chose to beta test. Likely, their beta testers had to "flash" their devices.. so can the public if that's what they want to be.
