Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

Im not talking about miner hardware changes, The poster brother was told and led to believe that this is a new N900 version 2.

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

ask him to prove how its version 2...

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

may be it's the branded network N900? branded by provider or something. North america or whatever. My board revision is 2101.

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

Or even... (Dun dun DUN!) CPW has been promised a batch with PR1.2 ready installed, and they can't let him have it until it goes on public release. Given the hitches they had on the update in the UK last time, they could be ironing that out now.

Or not.

Or the CPW staff have been told to 'say anything' to satisfy customers whose phone is delayed.

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

that could be the case lol. Really hope the pr1.2 is rolling out though. I am totally sick of this v.keyboard right now. Nokia ruined it after PR1.1 is rolled out. I made more mistakes with this keyboard and slower typing with capitalisation. Terrible!

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

yeah to be fair it was made out to him that this was something big and new but like i say monday will tell i spoke to hime again this afternoon and he said the wrong phone he went to collect WAS a N900 but not the version 2 that had been ordered for his account. so the plot thickens. ,He is on orange so i got to thinking is it a branded version of the handset.

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

on a similar topic, my brother (who could be lurking the forums right now) jjust got an N900 from dell. they were having a sale for 439 again. maybe they are clearing iinventory ? he gets it wed. but maybe dell is expecting a fresh shipment of pr 1.2s

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

True that^

However, he was also told his phone was "in" and when he got there it wasn't. :eek:

And then:


I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate here:

wrong phone + clueless sales assistant = version 2

When he was called and told that his phone was "in" the sales assistant looked at the thing, saw that it didn't look like a N900, and covered his *** for not doing his homework by thinking it must be a new version. :rolleyes:

The good news may be that when his phone does come in it may in fact now be "version 3". :confused:

That is the version where Nokia decided to change it back to look like "version 1" :p

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

so i got chance to have a look a my brothers new version 2 nokia n900 and most of you guy prob guessed anyway its false its the same as the rest of ours. it come with pr1.1 installed and that was all that was different from when i got mine. the guy in the shop was still saying it was a new version when my brother went to collect and he did mean hardware but couldnt say what had changed. cheers for all the posts now the exitments over i can go back to waiting for pr1.2. cheers again.

Re: New version of the N900 ???
 

In production parlance, a "version 2" could be a minor build change. The numbering would be for internal use only.

The version change could indicate an upgrade or other change in certain components that makes models manufactured past a certain point different enough from prior models that they require different repair kits and instructions. At the same time, they would function identically.

Anyway just err to the side of reason here and assume there's neither a major revelation nor conspiracy going on. ;)
