Re: New To N900 - Advice Needed
 

I think that, regarding GMail, you will need to upgrade to the 1.2 release of the firmware that is released today. Or will be released sometime today.

Colm.Smith, I would really advice you to read about the new update BEFORE customising your phone. It will save you a lot of time deciding wheter or not to go for the new update.

I have my N900 since januari and I will go for the new update, even erasing the eMMC so I get a "factory-reset" with version 1.2 on it.

IMPORTANT: backup all your data before doing like me, including your MyDocs!

In the release comments of the 1.2 firmware it says "fixed a lot of bugs", so that's why I decided to go for it. Also, there's a lot of new features and GMail is mentioned in those.

Hi there,

Thanks for the advice, im hoping this update appears soon for me, i have nothing on the phone at all so not worried about it resetting or loosing anything.

Any ideas when 1.2 will be available in Ireland ?

Cheers
