I know that, I mentioned that in my 1st post about them, I linked directly to her comment:

I've posted follow-up comments that probe further & which -unsurprisingly- haven't been addressed.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

^Yeah been in the US for about 1mth now, but not open slather availability in the retail channel, locked into only one major (& by all accts 2nd-tier) retailer.
But like many regional Nokia websites where the N9 & Lumias are offered, the N9's almost totally hidden from view, & geared as "the perfect business partner".
All which combines to seem like a clear attempt to marginalise it even further... Not that it even matters, given how late it was made available...
Still, at least it IS officially available there now, better than nothing... I guess....

Any English translation or can you summarise? TY.

From Nokioteca.net:

"Secondo quanto riportato in una mail proveniente dal Nokia Support (vedi qui) inviata all’utente marxian, autore dell’applicazione cuteTube, presto sarà rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per il Nokia N9. Se verrà rispettata la cronologia finora usata, l’update dovrebbe essere numerato PR 1.3 e porterà migliorie e novità al sistema che al momento sono sconosciute.
Del firmware update PR 1.3 per il Nokia N9 vi avevamo già parlato in questo articolo diversi mesi fa, riportandovi un tweet del direttore delle applicazioni di MeeGo in Nokia che lo aveva definito come “un piccolo ma utile (o prezioso) aggiornamento”.
Molto probabilmente questo update non sarà l’unico che migliorerà le funzionalità dell’unico device MeeGo di Nokia. Di recente, infatti, anche noi di Nokioteca abbiamo avuto una soffiata da parte di un responsabile di Nokia Italia che ci informava dell’esistenza del firmware in oggetto ma anche di quello numerato PR 1.4.
A quanto pare Nokia continuerà a supportare il device ancora per molto tempo, nonostante tutte le risorse siano ormai rivolte quasi esclusivamente ai device Lumia con Windows Phone. A dimostrazione di ciò c’è anche una nuova pagina dedicata al Nokia N9 sul sito di Nokia US (vedi qui) che potrebbe far pensare ad una sua eventuale commercializzazione anche oltre oceano."

As reported in an email from the Nokia Support (see here) Marxian sent to the user, application author cuteTube, soon to be released a new firmware update for the Nokia N9. If history will be respected so far used, the update should be numbered 1.3 and PR will bring improvements and innovations to the system that are currently unknown.
PR 1.3 firmware update for the Nokia N9 we had already discussed in this article several months ago, bringing you a tweet from the Director of the applications in Nokia Meego that had defined as "a small but useful (and valuable) update."
Most likely this update will not be the only device that will improve the functionality of the one of Nokia Meego. Recently, in fact, we at InsanelyMac we had a tip from a head of Nokia Italy informed us that the existence of the firmware in question but also that numbered PR 1.4.
Apparently Nokia will continue to support the device for a long time, despite all the resources are now directed almost exclusively to the device with Windows Phone Lumia. To demonstrate this, there is also a new page dedicated to the Nokia N9 on the Nokia U.S. site (see here) that could suggest a possible commercialization overseas.

used GT, but it's pretty accurate
The French blog just borrows the info from the italian source above

This is all really interesting tbh

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I wonder how its a perfect business phone if it doesnt have MS office type apps and support

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

They only needed Nokia to get one vendor to get phones into the major markets. Samsung had Wp7 and Android, but they weren't "committed" to WP7. But give a company $10B and they can move some handsets. Nokia did this by not selling the N9 in major markets.

Microsoft has tons of money still and they of course farm it out. I don't get why Nokia 808 announcement has to compete with the MS tablet announcement but they did.

Maybe Elop isn't as cozy with MS as we thought? LOL.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

hmmm accourding to the Nokia N9 bussiness website it does....

From the website:

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

symbian according Elop was a burning platform that inconsistency. WTF? I do not understand this man

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

Forget about PR1.3, nokia phones or mini tablets. This is the new tablet size!

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I used mine to read a 200 page word doc the other day. Worked a treat and I'll be honest, I was shocked!

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Yes it does. The document viewer can display a lot.

Now, try viewing a PDF on a Lumia. You can do it with Acrobat Reader, but that is really buggy software... no fun.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Thanks for that....
Smells like FUD to me, why would a "head" at Nokia Italy know about PR1.4, it's not even a N9 country.*
With all the recent announcements, PR1.3's looking shaky let alone PR1.4, highly doubtful IMO.
Sounds nice, but far too unrealistic...

*It was one of the original Lumia launch countries that the N9 was excluded from.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

All these talks seems nice, but i want some hard facts from real reliable sources

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

someone should ask flop to clarify this.

(I will not cause my message would be much anger about his ridiculous strategy :(

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

if you go to 7;57 on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6pHR0r-_Sc

he states that meego is more of a "future" os. that doesnt neccisarily mean its dead, does it? lol

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

Don't kid yourself.
808 has been released in the USA as a means of Nokia spruiking the camera hardware, in preparation for it being used in their Lumia line-up.

back to the topic......

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Please that's ancient, LOTS has happened since then...
zwer sums it up fairly well on this page, as does he & others on subsequent pages

It was all talk, it was never genuinely meant by him IMHO.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Uh, he said reliable sources... :)

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

I wouldn't be surprised if Nokia World has a MeeGo device announced with the same agenda as the N9. ;)

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

N9 support was added to the Nokia Suite:
http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/20/no...users-rejoice/

Apparently Nokia hasn't abandoned the MeeGo unicorn completely!:D This can only be good news in regards to the existence of PR 1.3.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Honestly. If a new Maemo/Meego/Meltemi device was announced anytime soon, or even within the next few months or whatever.

I would literally **** my pants.

I would save my pennies for it, but first would need to replace my pants. It is literally the last thing I am expecting.

This "N10" (I like the term "NX" ) would... I dunno... be any good? It might be.

The Nokia Nseries model X. Shortened to NX.

One can only dream...

Of course just to troll, it would run Harmattan, PR1.3

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Yes they fired the entire Maemo/Harmattan/Meltemi team and all of a sudden Nokia will release a Maemo/Harmattan/Meltemi phone out of the blue...

Ok, yeah keep dreaming.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

and L900, keep dreaming about wp8 upgrade, pfffftt new livescreen? What nice feature, N9 still piss all wp out there, :D

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

forget the current Lumias, they were only good for some "beta-testing"...incomplete OS, infantile issues...
but reading about WP8 and its intended capabilities makes me think a little further...
I´m wondering what´ll be the mulititasking like on WP8...
if it´s solid enough on some "Lumia 1000" hardware with HD screen, dual-core CPU and PureView camera I guess I might actually give it a shot...

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Let's not fool ourselves, no Lumia's for me, ever.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

You guys act as if Elop took the computers that were being used to develop Maemo, MeeGo and Meltemi and threw them in an empty oil drum and burned them in front of every Nokia employee. . .

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Even if it is half decent.....
I'm not going to back a strategy that killed any chance for Maemo/MeeGo/Meltemi/Qt.
At this point, I'd buy a WP8 phone from anyone BUT Nokia...
But I'm not convinced that WP8 is even close (overall) to iOS6 & Jelly Bean yet.
Sure there'll be areas that it's stronger, but on-balance I suspect that it'll STILL lose the feature count.
But there needs to be way more comparative analysis, it's far too early to say anything w/certainty.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

The only thing they do at this point is use offline maps.

Had apple been smart it would have licensed Nokia maps from Nokia and then apple would have owned a major share of international markets too.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Apple's getting TomTom to provide the data framework (similar to what Navteq does for Nokia).
Plus they now own some tech from another mob, which Nokia licensed for it's 3D maps.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Well either way.

Nokia alienated most of it's loyal customers with its recent moves.

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

Sens nokia released nokia suit update for n9 to...sounds there is litle hope for new update to v.1.3 or as a final fw v.2.0xxx or so:rolleyes:

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

They're dragging their feet. Its been ready for months.

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

Maybe we will be able to do the update the Nokia Suite 3.5 :D who knows

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

I've been getting a lot of apps update lately on my phone , maybe something related to new firmware being pushed, or as marxian mentioned a while ago developers have been given inside info and they are getting their apps ready for the new firmware.

Re: haven't received pr1.3 update... yet!!
 

i got an updated homescreen setting and then another update for this, thats all. doesnt really shout "HEY THERE, A NEW UPDATE IS COMING SOON"

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

Thank you for posting the link. But I think for followers of this thread there is nothing new on our blog. The amount of available information about PR1.3 is close to 0.

I asked a good friend about the update who works for a big media company which also sells Nokia N9s. He usually has a lot of contact with carriers and knew a lot about PR1.2 in advance. But the only thing he knew was that PR1.3 "might" arrive. So Nokia keeps it doors closed - to their right ;)

Btw: At the same company a sales person told me that Lumia phones can upgrade to WP8 and will be able to run any Windows 8 application :D So yeah...

Best is to let PR1.3 be a surprise, whatever it brings...

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12
 

But.... Nokia said "The beta test is over" when it released the L900...... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
