You can download its source, and stuff, of the open source components from their source code repositories.

You can even download the binaries from the SDK repository.

However, the fact that it is open source, doesn't mean that people should be messing around with it.
At least, no end users.

MR0 to me sounds like Maintenance Release 0.

N900 was near raw when released. PR 1.1.1 is still a little undercooked. This leaked firmware is better cooked imho. I know coz I've tasted it myself. From this experience, I've learned that official build of PR1.2 will be quite a tasty meal.

More features != more mature.

A big part of quality assurance is to make sure that all the new components (newly merged codebranches, etc) can work together well and test them in as many situations as possible.

We don't even know the exact testing platforms used. Perhaps the test phones have certain features (or lack thereof) that makes it easier to reflash or getaround certain issues, so they leave out the safeties.

Etc.

I thought N900 isn't a 100% open source phone. (I believe quite a few areas are closed source. Drivers etc)

Let me phrase the question differently- just as "food for thought" for all those critical of the OP.
How many of you, that didn't flash their phones - because they are responsible people - followed the threads of those who did, in order to try and see whether it worked and what is good and bad about FW1.2?
If you did, aren't you building on the experience and gumption of those who had the guts to try? Are you hoping that any bugs that were exposed by those who tried will be fixed by Nokia before the release?
So why be self-righteous?

However, the date you found would suggest week 10.

Actually, no matter if it is 11 or 12. It was ~2 months ago.

CONCLUSION: It is not the RC as most people believe it is, but more likely one of the alpha, or early beta builds.

I'm not trying it.
BTW, stuff like this is the BEST way for hackers to embed trojans, keyloggers, and other sh*t.
(At least, if I were an evil person, this is exacly how I would do it.)

(The same applies for the pirated versions of Windows coming from unknown sources. Most of them are full of malware.)

Well, if you look at the firmware downloads @ nokia (tablets-dev.nokia.com) you'll see that all the Global releases are MR0 and the others are XXX. So I'd say volt's assumption at least appears correct.
