Because everything is restored to factory and if you did a backup to your pc or memory card they should come back, but this is normal to lose history .

no i had it before. i restored.

every call and sms i make is now not stored. nothing is logged

I have.

Runs fine.

There is no way this update will brick a N900 because its an OFFICIAL Nokia update albeit released in an UNofficial way so everyone can be rest assured flashing with the new update will NOT brick your N900 as long as you follow the easy instructions on this page....

IT WORKS 100%.

still not brave enough to try but so excited for everybody!
have fun guys, I realyy must go shopping soon but will get my partner to drive so I can keep following the progress.
Is there a maemoanonymous?

Official or not, it's like the situation when all the interested buyer and supporter for Nokia in my country wanted the N900 when it was available oversea, but our local Nokia authorised distributor have no idea or any single information despite various inquires and calls from so many people. After weeks, they still have no single information and some even go till the extend to email Nokia in other countries, just to get disappointed that the reply was "No plans for APAC countries".

Those who bought grey imports, went to official local Nokia stores, imagine the shame on Nokia local shops when other customers saw it and ask "You guys were official and authorised Nokia stores, yet you don't carry a model which non-authorised/official store are selling". They don't even have any single information despite paying the royalty and so on for being authorised dealer and so on.

In the end, don't know how suddenly there was announcement that it will be launched in our country in late March. The announcement was made about 1 month to it's official launching.

As for this PR1.2, everyone was left guessing and treat like dummies to wait weeks by weeks, it's over 1 month since the SDK? Then suddenly,there is information about HK launching with PR1.2 while nobody know anything about it before. And now suddenly, there was a "leaked" version? Seems like the underground works better than being official or supporting/loyal and waiting patiently.

Just me rambling... disappointment at how things are done. N900 is a great device but it still needs a lot of improvements. Having to face with some of it's limitation everyday and knowing there was a fix for it since late February is a pain. They should've release multiple updates if they can't handle a major update properly. Perhaps they were too busy with MeeGo and Symbian^3. Previously I also read there was major updates for 5800 and recently the X6... N900 feels like it was left out in the cold.

I can confirm that norwegian language is included. Norwegian keyboard layout is also included.

There's a reason it isn't out officially. I hope I'm wrong and its stable. but I don't think Nokia is stupid.

AHA now i understand you... ok i will check this out.
