It's almost certainly not. Is there any convincing reason as to why Nokia would hold on to it?

bcoz its shipped with hongkong batch, plus they had the spare sweet time to work on chinese writing recognition. they just want more funding, more unsuspecting customers to fall in their trap. when they need more funding, pr 1.3 comes out, it'll be released else where n only they will get the new firmare.

AFAICT, there's confusion as to whether a) the Hong Kong devices are shipping and b) if they are, what they're shipping with.

If it is shipping with devices which are on sale right now, it'll be available through HAM and tablets-dev within a day or so. PR1.2 won't change your world, btw, just lots of nice tweaks. The biggest thing is the future Qt 4.6 apps which will be released.

Sorry, I can't understand what you're trying to say here. Something about Nokia making more money if they don't release PR1.2, despite it "being ready"?

The handwriting software was not developed by Nokia -- it was developed by PenPower.

Depends of your usage ... As i m waiting for :

- qt and pyside 0.3.0 binding for on device dev in the train
- mfe fixes so i ll be able to send email with my n900
- wifi drain bug fix

So yes it ll change my daily use ... i ll be able to sendand answer to email in the train. Specially urgent one for work where i should stay to be in front of a true computer (and with two hour of train it s can be long)

Depends on use case ....

How short peoples memories are ! I can still remember the ever moving UK N900 launch. Early November became mid December and that movement happened an agonising week at a time.

The chances of Nokia announced release being on time is nil IMHO.

That's why there's no release date like there's no for any else mobile phone manufacturer. ;)

well india and other countries r launching their n900 soon aren't they? they're not making money by releasing pr 1.2 either wouldn't they. at least if they release it else where, they would have an excuse telling the new customers "no, its better now" for those unfamiliar with whats going on. n so u have to pay to get ur device upgrade?

handwriting recognition is made by pen power, but they still need time to incorporate it with n900, if it is to be used natively inside the device. if its just its own program for handwriting recognition, that would be pointless wouldn't it?

I've attended today's launch event that was held at the Island Shangri-La Hotel (near Pacific Place,Admiralty) and tonight's bloggers' gathering. Here are some pics and video of both events:


Hong Kong artists Kate Tsui and Ronald Cheng. The guy next to them is Bruce Lam, Nokia HK's General Manager.


Local shops will start selling N900 on May 1st 2010, at the price of HK$4998:


Penpower's Handwriting solution supports "Hong Kong special characters" (those in HKSCS character set):

Bloggers' gathering, also organized by Nokia, was held at the second floor of the Nokia's flagship store in Causeway Bay (near Times Square):

I was told by the Nokians that the PR1.2 firmware will not be released globally so soon... so, don't expect it to be released for download at the same time as the Hong Kong edition.

By the way, since PR1.2 is with Qt 4.6 bundles, some apps that were developed in previous versions of Qt may not be able to run properly. Perhaps that's why Nokia would like to hold the PR1.2 release date a bit so that developers will have time to adjust their code for better Qt 4.6 compatibility.

Now I'm disappointed in Nokia. They're willing to ship devices to Hong Kong with it loaded, but there's something so pressing that they can't release it for the rest of the world?

Well they had ages to do so when the autobuild servers and SDK were moved to Qt 4.6 way too soon, so I'm not quite sure that's a reasonable explanation.

Also, they need to hurry up and shuffle that PenPower package over to the non-free catalog or to the Nokia repositories instead of the free catalog.

Looking at the glamor and the display, Nokia is going to put up a big fight in Asia about the N900, still a good news for the steps children, the rest of us.

Thanks Amanda for the video, I wish I was invited

This has been a known fact for weeks and the Maemo 1.2 SDK has been available for weeks for this very reason. Many of the Qt apps have been waiting for PR 1.2.

Point being?

Maybe with Qt 4.6 and a software load that supports it we'll get more (from the poor, easily confused Android and iPhone developers ;) )

Because as soon as an N900 user explodes in anticipation it's going to have a new world record in fanboyism. Apple will have to switch to mass suicides to top an exploded maemmalian.

Re: Nokia N900 will be officially launched in Hong Kong - with PR1.2 built-in and some extra goodies!!
 
I'm pretty disappointed that they are saying that the PR 1.2 isn't coming anytime soon for us. I am really only waiting for the update to see whether I will keep the phone or not. I hope they make a decision to release it soon, if they wait to long, I may just have to get rid of it. It's too much of a hassle right now (battery issues, can't easily sync my music and podcasts, lack of apps). I hope they fix many of these problems and get it out to us.

I am new to the Nokia world, and I like their products and want to be loyal to them, but they are making it difficult. :(

Re: Nokia N900 will be officially launched in Hong Kong - with PR1.2 built-in and some extra goodies!!
 
I don't care about world wide release.. I just want Nokia to release it's update to the US IMEI N900 that's all for now. USA got the PR1.1.1 since 16February and now it is 1 month and half and still no update after that. PR1.1.1 is supposedly a foundation toward the PR1.2.

This is rediculously stupid of Nokia not to make it's make on consumers faith. Most of us here getting really tired of waiting and some have already fallen to the Devil side.. God help the fallen one!

You seriously need to chill. It's just a phone update. Enjoy it for what it does now which is way better than any other phone out. The update will come when it's ready.

i think not tecnically true that the n900 is better than all the phones out there. Actually it's lining up with some good phone but not the best.

Can't really chill aye, when it's been so long since the PR1.1.1 is released. PR1.1.1 is not meant to be the solid firmware anyway. It's just a foot step toward PR1.2 but not the real thing.

With Qt 4.6 comes a whole world of new apps that will run on our devices and devices like the N8. The N8 release is still 2 months away so I'm being patient ;)

What other phone out right now has the growth potential that the N900 has?

if this is how you feel, sell it now. pr 1.2 is an update, not a new phone. it will bring maemo 5 on the n900 closer to point where nokia wants it to be... from what you say, i doubt that this is where you want it to be.
