Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

this thread is becoming like the wazapp thread where nobody bothers to read previous comments before posting. Arie has clearly stated pr1.3 exists there is a delay for some polishing to be done.
Yet new and old members both continue whining either by blaming Elop for its "cancellation", begging Nokia to release it (as if they are going to listen to you) or just say that they've been abandoned.
For heaven's sake those of you who have been here for some while stop making a fool out of yourselves (you know who you are) and setting a pathetic tone to this thread.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

it might be : more time = more bug fixes but the only certain is that pr 1.3 is real and confirmed many times but it's not a huge update like pr 1.2

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I disagree with your rather astute observation for one reason... Nokia as it stands at this very moment does not feel as if they owe any Harmattan user in any location anything whatsoever.

Next stop : CSSU

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

My thoughts exactly. I'm prepared to wait, as long as it's as polished an update as they can possibly give us.

I've already had one phone in the past ruined by a botched final update(Moto Milestone), if this is to be the final official update for our beloved N9s then all I care about is some performace improvements and no nasty bugs or gremlins included. If that means waiting then I can be patient, after all we know there's only a small team working on this now.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Elop is managing the pr1.3 update :)

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

No worries, we will TOTALLY get Pr 1.3, even if it takes a little while.

It will fix ALL the bugs. Add like 100 new features (the N9 will get a 1.4 ghz processor in it... somehow)

They will open source the entire software, including the UI, remove Aegis, and Alien Dalvik will show up and let us run all Android apps at 100% compatibility with no lag.

But we'll have to buy a lumia to tether to it to use all those functions.

And have to install the Zune software to get the update.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Hey all

A few days ago I've emailed nokia through this page:

http://www.nokia.com/ch-de/support/kontakt/contact-us/

asking about pr 1.3. A day later I got a phone call (sic!) in which a really nice lady said three things:
- the update is coming for sure
- the exact date is unknown, cause the dev team is hard working at it takes time
- further updates are possible

So let's keep waiting and see.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Well that is really nice :D if true

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Well played, good news.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I love you man! (not in the greek way)

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Thanks, but remember that the lady from Nokia Care is certainly not an oracle, so it would be great if others would write to their country Nokia care contacts as well to try to confirm this - and maybe extort some more useful information this way :)

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I´m really sorry guys, but this is the conversation between me and a Nokia Finland employee from today via the chat window on Nokia.fi:

Henna: Hei, minun nimeni on Henna. Kiitos että otit yhteyttä Nokia Care Chatiin. Miten voin auttaa?
jleholeho
Hi,
Henna
Hi.
jleholeho
sorry I´m writing in English, hope it won´t be a problem...
Henna
that´s ok. How can I help you?
jleholeho
I was curious what´s the expected future of the Nokia N9 and its updates, especially the most-anticipated PR1.3...
Henna
Unfortunately we don´t have any official announcement of N9 updates yet.
jleholeho
I´m sure you´re all forced to present Lumias and Lumias only, but the N9 is still an acclaimed member of Nokia family...
jleholeho
I see, well are the rumours about at least PR1.3 update true?
Henna
Well N9-00 is a good phone and it is different to Lumia.
Henna
I wouldn´t trust on the rumours but the official announcement from Nokia which can be found from Nokia´s official website
jleholeho
I´m asking only because the whole MeeGo Harmattan community is pretty eager to receive another update, not to mention it has been announced on various smartphone websites...
jleholeho
and yes, I totally agree with you..
jleholeho
so is there or is there not any confirmation of PR1.3?
Henna
Unfortunately we do not have any official information about N9-00 future updates.
Henna
i´m sorry but we don´t have the confirmation of PR1.3.
jleholeho
I see...so the PR1.2 could be considered as the last one for N9?
Henna
Well I wouldn´t say that one either since we do not have any information about the future updaes.
jleholeho
that´s kind of strange, though, as one would think there´s no better place to get some info than at Nokia directly...
jleholeho
so you simply can´t confirm there will be ANY update for N9 this year?
Henna
Here in technical support we get the confirmations about the updates around the same time as consumers.
Henna
Unfortunately I can´t confirm any future updates.
jleholeho
I understand...can´t say I´m happy but at least I got an eligible info directly from Nokia...
jleholeho
alright Henna, thanks a lot
Henna
Thank you. Is there anything else you would like to ask?
jleholeho
nope

kinda sad, isn´t it???

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Well, I guess than the info I got was not reliable at all... Could any one else try stalking Nokia to get any more info?

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

jleholeho at least you tried!

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

That whole place is going straight to hell, nobody knows anything.... Same as in other Cellphone Service Providers, U call them to confirm about a special they having as advertised on News Paper... And they don't know!!!!!

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

yup, I just tried...
I honestly don´t know what to think as I myself was told about 100% probability of the PR1.3 before by another person close to Nokia...
they´re either so dumb as their own employess don´t know **** or all PR1.3 rumours were simply a cheap joke...

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

"same time as consumers" simply means they get it confirmed the same time as we do..
She says a lot of "I can't confirm it" (or something like it), which in my eyes means 'even if I knew I'm not allowed to tell'..

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

"N9 will be supported until 2015"

do you remember that statement guys?

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

That conversation doesn't imply in any way that the update isn't coming.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

but where the mail said for the pr 1.3? i dont see it there is not coming pr 1.3

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

just chat with Nokia France ... no news neither ...

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Doesn't mean a damn thing matey, lol most Nokia replies about updates are just a template.

Honestly that lady just copied and pasted a template answer. Maybe tweaked it a bit to make it applicable, they wouldnt have a clue when it was gonna be released, only the dev team themselves would know.

Also more bug fixes is not the reason its taking long, bug fixes are FROZEN, meaning NOTHING ELSE will be fixed since end of March.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

As long as there's no official announcement from Nokia, you won't get any confirmation or denial from Nokia staff. They're simply not allowed to leak information to you.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Yeah, we all knew back then that it was bull crap :P

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

It goes well along with "640kB ought to be enough for everybody, forever."

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

that was before stock gone to hell thanks to elops strategy...

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Note to OP: Never put year designation on rumours about future updates. Then you'll be always accurate :)

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Thank you, finally someone gets it.

There is a PR1.3 coming, this is all the information that Nokia will release.

And it is not coming at the end of may.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

If Nokia didn't go the WP way, 1.3 could be co-released with the updated N9S. Perhaps in an alternative reality..

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Can someone please tell me what the excitement is about? Do we need any more features in our N9's or is it just for the heck of it?

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Hello Dr. William Bell : )

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I don't know about excitement, but all i want from pr1.3 is every critical bug fixed. Nothing else.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

And a cool, native fm radio app.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Why this modesty? I want a bottle of rum, and a nice bronze tanned lady soaked in coconut oil. That's why I am excited about Pr1.3

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

And don't forget Apples "3.5" is the largest screen thats usable with a single hand, anything bigger is pointless" *cough* iPhone 5 is going to have a 4" screen *cough*

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

even if there would be PR1.3, PR1.4, PR1.5, PR1.6 etc, you would never get any timetables for them, as nokia never gives any official statements on timetables on any PR releases which may or may not come.

So its useless to speculate on timetables. It comes if and when it comes.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

yes a good app for radio

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

What else they could add to the phone? What the phone is lacking? Have you something in mind? Ok, maybe video calling but I don't use it anyway. And now we have inception, we can do almost anything to the phone by ourselves.
