Nokia should have known that people would have made such jokes today and should have actually released it today! :D

Stupid thing is I just had an update for OMWeather Database waiting, so I actually still believed it was happening when I checked my N900 and saw the update sign... Oh naïve me :D

[maxximuscool]

OH what an arse lol..you've Got me with the stupid April Fool jokes!!

[anidel]

The problem is the timezones :)
In many countries it's still March 31st, like here in Canada.
So your mind might still not be in the April's foolness and you might not get the joke...

[Ronaldo]

Exactly what I felt!

[sidwhosane]

i fell for this ****, man...
I am at work now.. I drove back home to get my phone charger and drove back to work and searched for the update... heh heh heh.. All fools day, huh!!! :o

[chase15]

Exactly what I felt!

haha same here.. I rushed home to check update... and this thread just got me -.-

[NokTokDaddy]

strange, but true:

I was on MaemoSelect last night and clicked the 'view 360' link to see if I could find out why this didn't work on my MicroB. went to bed feeling cheated and hoping for a 1.2 fix.

woke up this morning and portrait now works in my browser!

is the Power Of Wishful Thinking coming with 1.2?

Will they bring back Elvis as well?

[Darkwolf]

OMG!!! This is freakin awesome! Why isn't this a sticky yet!?
Thank you so much for reporting this, for some reason I didn't see a nice blinking icon in my traybar, so I guess it's a matter of time(zones) before it gets released here.
Cannot wait!

Man... April 1)))) there is no update... today, or tomorrow... )))))) it will be next year 100%!!!

[Scharel]

It were funny if Nokia releases a fake-Update today, that just shows a april fools message after installing :-D

[benik]

it would be the last thing for sell my n900))))) Nokia n900 is good... but NOKIA support - ****...

[rpgAmazon]

Scharel, you are the most perverse man over the world! It sounds delicious! Of course, if Nokia does that, I buy a iPhone...

[deadmalc]

i thought it would have been more believable for someone to start a thread like pr 1.2 cancelled - no more updates for n900.
at least then its slightly more plausible.

[mr_ian84]

apart from april 1st have any of you been getting application updates which you cannot install because qt4.6 is not installed?

pr1.2 is imminent!!!!!

[stobbsc]

You are giving a link from a blog which actually is yours and you want to believe you? Its a big waste of time this which happens today. PR1.2 is out and is out and screenshots and more.... etc.

[Ronaldo]

lol sorry man lol but if it makes u feel better i checked app manager after thread incase there was an update lol

[stobbsc]

yeah I check app manager first thing this morning too he he he

[Rick O'Shea]

What would be really funny, is that Nokia would actually release the real 1.2 today and nobody would download it thinking: "nah, it's only an april fool's joke"! :D

[Andy214]

What would be really funny, is that Nokia would actually release the real 1.2 today and nobody would download it thinking: "nah, it's only an april fool's joke"! :D

I think it'll be funny if it was launch on the same day later, and Ronaldo posted another TOPIC saying it's REAL, and nobody bother nor believes, wouldn't want to be fooled twice :D

Anyway, the updates are really slow and Maemo5 is still far from complete or stable, still has so many things to improve especially on the basic Phone functionailty which commonly found on most Phones. At this rate, I wonder how long will it take, seriously. PR1.2 itself took so long after the "speculated" date. Look at the progress of Android.

Moreover, in my country, they've just launched the N900 officially. At first I thought PR1.2 will be available before they launch, but NO, I wonder what's Nokia thinking. Perhaps they're more concern about marketing, to launch the phone around the same time as the Milestone and X10 in my country. Bad move, launching before PR1.2 which could've reduce many problems/complains from buyers, such as the simple USSD function which is used by most of the handphone users in my country. And the sales people never bothered to explain or provide the USSD widgets, etc.
Even the Android official set here gets Android 2.1 out of the box.

own a french car, own a french phone,... both seems have similar support issues, why why why....

Nonetheless, the N900 is still a great device, just the update is really taking a long time, very eager to have the improved OS with more features/functions, etc.

[cjp]

Haha fell for this one as well. I'm checking for updates as I type.

Nice one! 8)

[ThomasAH]

Where is the "Hate" button?

[Ronaldo]
