I think PR 1.2 is meant to improve the stability of the OS.Maybe there is another PR update planned to update application and evrything.
Another possible scenario is maybe Nokia will just release PR 1.2 and straight away offer MeeGo for N900 after it is released.If MeeGo is really shaping up well maybe this will be the smarter move.
It's always happens to me too.Even till now sometimes I feel like I should have get Milestone instead.
Android is better in term of software support.If only Nokia add more apps in OVI store,I'll be very happy.
I'm using it.Using it to connect to my YM.Works really well.

Using Opera as my browser now.It's really well done for alpha version.Opera even included some of the desktop function for mobile version.
Downside is it's currently not supporting flash and loading of website isn't quite as fast as MicroB

hi guys, i'm really considering to buy either the n900 or milestone. actually i have preference for nokia as i have always liked and supported nokia. my current phone is E90. the outlook of communicator series is quite bleak. i dun think they will bring out a communicator successor to E90 soon.

but reading many opinions here, seems like many n900 user regret not getting the milestone instead. yet milestone doesn't have the 32GB flash compared to n900. i would say that's a major tradeoff with having a PR1.2 now in a milestone. what say you guys? get milestone now coz it got better support, or get n900 and hope and wait they will come out with support but content coz the hardware spec chosen i superior?

concerning the price of both devices they are roughly similar. but which phone has better price/worth ratio? pls share ur opinions. i am really itching to change to touch phone and also my e90 is dying (bluetooth not working, earport spoil). thanks guys

thanks for input guys. looks like i will go for n900.

my main interest is processing power (speed), multimedia and internet.
also, i am a keen follower and adopter of convergance tech. stable software is also one of my concern. i was using 5800xm for 1 month and i hated the constant crashes and the device being underpowered (cpu).

It seems so. Wifi switcher messes up 3G autoconnect as well.

As for the tried and true Milestone VS N900 debate, to put it in simple terms (and after all the other long explainations given), it falls to what you want out of the device.

Arguably, the BETTER SMARTPHONE would be the Milestone, but IMHO the more capable MOBILE COMPUTER would have to be the N900.

The smallest netbook that can fit into your pocket thing is right on the mark, as you need to remember, Android is a mobile OS built on top of linux, while Meamo IS linux, tweaked (insufficiently) for mobile use.

And, accordingly, Maemo has IMMENSE untapped potential. Problem is, potential is useless unless utilized. With patience things should (very slowly) improve, but patience is the key word here.

I hope Meego brings better things on the mobile usability front, but I fear that it would come with a reduction of the sheer power and utter customizibility of Maemo.

Either that or we wait for the Mobile Ubuntu project to mature lol.

Anyway, you'll get used to living with a permanently landscape phone. For me, it was my old N-Gage days all over again.
