On Monday, November 1, at about 2pm Eastern time. I received a call from Nokia Customer Care (after 6 months) They stated that the call is in regard to my previous messages. They made the following points.
1. PR 1.3 has been released. (As if I didn't already know this)
2. They said that it doesn't support portrait mode yet (duhhhhhhh)
3. They said hopefully this will come in the next firmware update (so there is actually going to be another firmware update??)
I found this call very strange, it came from a Private Number and it was a funny accent and they claimed to be Nokia Customer Care. I wish I recorded the call.
I think that it may was a fake, Nokia calling their customers after months? That makes no sense.

Nokia USA is a total joke. It's run by a group that has a call center in India, which has the worst response time ever. They can't do pre-orders, or undo lockouts from the web site, or really do anything at all but be annoying. It would totally not surprise me if they're just getting to your email 6 months later.
If you'd like to read my initial experience with them on purchasing the N900 and you'll see how bad it can be. I had another run-in when I was trying to get an N900 on one of the many rebate offers, only to be snagged by following their directions, which turned out to be wrong, and resulted in me missing the chance to get in on the deal.

if its like anything i experienced then i would say it is nokia (or someone working for nokia) doing some research or giving out information.
nokia works in mysterious ways.

Very odd but its quite possible that the call was from Nokia , remember guys that new management lead by Elop said they gonna listen and they will change the way Nokia works , maybe its an early sign of upcoming changes?

I don't think the call was a fake. I think it was a new hire.
