When is the New Firmware update coming??

Hi, ive notices that some times my N900 just...."bugs out"..like after i hang up a phone call...it reboots....or sometimes just shuts off...i have done resets and removed apps....reinstalled the latest firmware....but still happening...like sometimes when i have the music player going...which needs a makeover BADLY.....the audio starts stuttering and cutting out when i open a new app or even get a text message....anyone else have these bugs/problems:confused:

Thanx in advance for your input.

Re: When is the New Firmware update coming??

Best prediction is sometime this year. Likely Q1-Q2 (e.g. anywhere from now till May-June). Nokia hasn't said when it's coming though there was a recent leak of a new N900 manual that includes 1.2 firmware fixes and enhancements.

Anything else is speculation (my post on the date is speculation too).

Laughing man, where can I find more info on the leaked new manual and which 1.2 features get revealed in it? I already tried to power search the forum.

"When is the New Firmware update coming??"

There's only two relevant answers to this question:

1) Something went wrong, and a team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

2) Something unexpected happened. please smash head against keyboard. when done, you may run around in circles, wave your hands, and scream.

Alright the second one wasn't really an answer >_>, but at this point it's what we should be doing o.o....

Come on boys, they're developing a lot of new bugs, so we can have hours and hours of funny "Trolls vs Fanboys" war-threads!
(it's not easy make bugs for this powerfull and stable phone!)
Nokia, connecting people!

this is before meego, and no, meego doesn't have a eta. That's because it isn't yet official, if Nokia is releasing their version of meego for the N900. We know though, that the basic (for developers) meego will have its first release later this moth or early next month.

Un_named, thanks! I hope and prey that they will also add users defined contact groups so that I could e.g. send SMS to my whole family..

I'd recommend you get an RMA # and have the phone repaired/replaced.

Now like everyone, I certainly can agree with you on the media player sucking hugely. :D
