I have no answer but i'm guessing it must be to do with what you have installed, i updated OTA with 57.7mb free!! and disabled all catalogues except Nokia one

upgraded OTA (had about 55MB free in rootfs - now 73MB).

1. during restart you are prompted to (re)register with nokia to recieve hints & tips for n900. I did so but it failed cos i have hideuseragent for facebook. you can complete the reg. later from settings.

2. i got an operation failed message after the phone restarted I assume it was the above failure - though nokia sent me a text about the failed registration too?)

3. all the contact shortcuts on my desktop have dissapeared

4. no flash 10, iPlayer still works as before

5. network data counter now has home & roaming, with optional alerts over specified thresholds. Personal dataplan widget unchanged at present.

6. when microb opens a new web page, the zoom level is the same as that of the previous page (so, if i enlarged the 'page' box on TMO to select the next one, when that page loads it is zoomed in to the same degree)

thats my initial observations.

I spoke too soon, had problems with apt-get upgrade, exited xterm to try to set up WiFi, phone crashed and it's now in a reboot loop. Fun

No, stock kernel. I am running PR1.2 because I flashed it this morning.

IS GMAIL EXCHANGE SUPPORTED? Anybody can confirm that? mail+contact+calendar?

can this be installed over the leaked version without any problems?

Huh? I'm talking about basic phone features, they should understand very well what to provide, such as, contacts grouping, individual ringtone assignments, sms storing in folders, profiles, etc.

Nokia is well known of provide good phone functionality and easy to use even before Symbian, when they launched Symbian devices, they've make it better and better.

Suddenly, this Maemo is like totally from another company which have no experience with phones.

Fine, initially they don't provide it, I'm willing to give up my "hook" to those features. I've never been willing to change to other platform or devices, but N900 and Maemo is able to make me let go.
Sadly, until today, there is no improvements in these areas, despite it's by Nokia.

It may not be important, but similarly, it is not something that cannot be done. It's pretty disappointing that they neglected these phone features, and previous there was a post about an interview with someone from Nokia and more it's a disappointment to read.

All I can say is, don't be like Apple or Steve. If there no such features, admit it's the weakness, don't twist and turn and find excuses that it's not needed and so on.

Flashed mine from the leaked without any issues. However, I do feel a bit like the child who found and played with their xmas presents two weeks before the event...

I meant utterchaos...

Hi, Can I not use the Nokia Software Updater to update to PR1.2? I have a Vodafone version and so far OTA download has not come up!
