You won't have to reflash the N900 using Flasher or PC Suite software, It will be an incremental updates you'll insall via the App Manager. The usual routine is that you will get notifiction when it's available.

When you go to installed it it will say that you should make a Backup of your device, before proceeding. You should follow that advice. When you proceed, the N900 will start performing the update which will take a bit of time.After it's done, the N900 will reboot (usually). And then.. well that's all.

With 64bit linux no problem. Just manually unpack from .deb flusher and it is work

I saw the reference to sat nav on the specs and assumed it could do what the N95 already does. I guess the N900 will get there - sooner rather than later hopefully.
This is why I still carry my N95 around wherever I go. The only problem is I have to be switching SIM card every time I need to use the GPS on the N95. It is a pain....

Well, that's not fair then. Nokia have lied to us, again!
First the release of the N900, now new firmware!
They promised new firmware before the end of the year, it's their fault they are unable to do so!
It's the principle of the whole thing that pisses me off, not that i have to wait.

Do you understand the meaning of the word "expected"? It for sure does not mean the same as, well, "for sure"....

To find out how much how much credit left with my 'pay as you go' account with vodafone I dial *#1345# and on my Samsung E900 back would come a text telling me how much credit I have left.

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.

IF Nokia stated that they "expected" an update to be published before the end of the year and it will not, common communication courtesy (aka customer service and relations) would be to update the statement.

Leaving people hanging is lame, but has there even been a statement implying a release by EOY?
