Nokia N900: PR 1.2 Released Unofficially

The much awaited Public Release 1.2 of the Nokia N900s Maemo Operating system has been leaked.

FileName: RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.12-9_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM

The site where it was first released is a Chinese site but we're working on and will get torrent links over here real soon. The first link was posted by a newbie over at the talk.maemo forums which led to suspicion as to the authencity of the firmware image. But curiosity led some of the members to check it out and eventually it was proved to be the real thing. Within 2 hours of the first post devices had already started booting up with the pr 1.2.

UPDATE:

 Change Log for 10.2010.16-8 a.k.a PR 1.2:

• Smoother scrolling
• Long key press gives numbers
• FM transmitter still works even though HK models do not have the hardware.
• Faster. Though this could be due to the reflash..
• No stuttering while recording video
• currently skype video chat seems to be still disabled
• New application manager is awesome!
• Flash version has been updated
• USSD codes now work without requiring additional apps

The UK became a happier country today..

.. because all its n900 owners just got access to PR1.1.1. The full code is : 3.2010.02-8.201.1
Of course users from elsewhere in the world had already got the update from the repository back on February 16th. Then there were those users who flashed to the global image so that they could have a taste of PR 1.1.1 themselves.

This is also said to be sort of a forerunner to get the firmware ready for a major update to PR1.2, though no one's sure when that might show up - if it ever does!
