PR1.2 not available for me in Germany as well. Using internal sources to get it.

Nokia rolls out the update staggered so that the servers can cope with the usual day 1 traffic.

Let me rephrase. I let an intern flash the firmware for me. I work at Nokia.

Sorry, can't do that. Furthermore, it's 1.2GB. Only OTA is 238MB.

Kinda remember you.You worked on Nokia X3-02 Touch & Type right? Nice little phone.

1.2GB seems right.That should contain OS & application files.Wait 1-2 days & the update should pop up in navifirm.

N9's firmware is locked by region right?Maybe Kelvin's firmware won't be compatible with APAC N9.
N9 don't have global variant firmware like N900.

@Kelvin
You've used both N9 & Lumia 800 right? Which do you prefer?
It's always interesting to hear comment about Nokia's product from their own employee.

I've not used Lumia 800 extensively and I've only got the N9 for a week now. But let me just put this disclaimer here, all my opinions do not reflect the company's opinion and stance.

What I like about N9 is the true multi-tasking. It seems way more integrated and fluid in terms of usability. N9 lack in some usability features, like pretty small hit areas for buttons, sometimes if you hover too near the edge, it tends to wanna swipe. Furthermore, I like the integrated feel of the social features unlike competing OSes which tend to work in app silos, if you know what I mean.

Lumia has the leg up on UI fluidity though. Of course, they have to sacrifice the true multi-tasking. Nokia apps are still not truly integrated (what's the deal with some search showing Bing maps and not Nokia's?), but they're getting there. I like how it's backed by a company with a rich history of SW creation (despite what people say). From what I've heard, working together with MS has been great for many of our colleagues.

Anyway, with all the great devices on the high end, competing for relevance, don't forget the fight people like me are doing for the next billion (I sound like marketing).

Majority of mobile OS are app centric.Users seems to prefer it that way.
But personally I prefer the integrated functions in N9 & N900.
I've used N9 & N950 for bunch of times & I think OS is quite fluid.The swiping things needs time to adjust.Sort of calibration.
Aside from commercial app developer support N9 has delivered pretty much everything.If Nokia do keep with software support I think it should keep MeeGo around for some time.

IMHO WP7's UI isn't suitable for everyone.Some users get "lost" with the UI.
Regarding true multitasking there are very few OS having them anyway.Too bad all of them are dying sad.gif
But it's true that using Microsoft expertise in desktop OS Nokia could perhaps gain their place back.Maybe they learn few things from Apple who used their own desktop OS to create their mobile OS.
Integrated services from Microsoft entertainment division is also a plus point for WP.
Users might wait & see whether Nokia can tie their own services & other things like camera in Nokia's WP devices.

If you guys can keep creating things like the X3-02 I think Nokia's future are very bright in feature phone section.

We still have more in store. Stay tuned.

Sometimes I couldn't believe myself how we squeezed so much out of so little. Try the Asha 302 and you'll see what I mean.

I just noticed on the way to work that the N9 now works with my car. Previously I could only answer calls and make calls by manual dialling. Now the phone book is also accessible thru the car's computer.

It didn't work too on N900 before, causing me to hold on to my N8 for my car.
