Ok, I've been waiting for today for way too long now. Is today the day of the next update?
For what has been told in these forums, today Nokia people take their holidays so if they don't release the firmware today they aren't going to do so till the middle of august.
Today is the last day of the first semester, and Nokia said they would release the firmware during the first semester. But I can see they telling us the job toke them more than what they pretended because the changes were bigger.
On the other hand it would make no sense for Textrat to laught about us for so long if they weren't going to release the firmware today.
Ok. My idea in this treat is to sumarize everything that has been asked for for the next firmware, so we can then check what has been made and what hasn't.
Hope nobody uses this thread to opine about the things that has been asked, neither to argument about who lies and who don't. Let's try it becomes simply a list, please.

If you look at the list it is not that much. Anyway, I'm not expecting Nokia to fullfill 100% of expectations, I simply wnated to have an extensive list of what has been asked for. Who knows, maybe they can use it as a guide for the next release.

In Finland, holidays take place 25/06 -25 /07, usually. Knowing how Nokia is well organized, you can bet that if they had planned to release theis update on 29/06, they know about vacation timeframe so they would have made sure that update is ready by 22/06 then everything goes on tracks by itself.
This being said, Nokia has already been delaying release date. Example N95 was announced for release Q4 / 2006, but was released Q2 2007. So predictability is not 100% reliable.
So it s not safe to base deduction on assumptions :-)
yes, integrated sip is really the only thing they promised for the 770 and never built into any ITOS. gizmo works fine in principle but is eating all my memory and my cpu cycles. (it also doesnt integrate with the address book)
I guess the plan was to have it based on Telepathy-Sofiasip; don't know why things move so slowly.
- an OS that allows a dramatically improved power management.
Especially if there is Skype, or any proper VoIP and we start using it consistently, I don't know how to walk around with a few meters of cable between the N800 and the charger.
I already dim my screen to the min in order to save power....
