I think Anarae is right about his question, if N900 is for above average user, let them participate and everyone will be more happy, and maybe it can help to speed up testing process.

it's just a bunch of hollow marketing phrases which would score big at bs bingo and unwarranted claims.
what with patting apple, google and palm on the head and that nonsensical "you are nice -- but we are best, though" attitude?

I mean, Microsoft lets people test RC-software(oh sorry they're evil and not open, can't mention here)! But of course Nokia and Maemo is the right and open way where community matters, no question about it.

You guys are looking at this all wrong.
Sure, open testing would be great and I'm looking forward to that with MeeGo. But consider: who's going to ignore Ari Jaaksi when he reports bugs?
I mean, we're "good enough" to be able to install and use MeeGo (which I don't have to remind you - currently has no UI and missing lots of basic functionalities) but we're not "good enough" to test a simple update?
Unless of course, PR 1.2 does bring something more than "just an update", which in this case Nokia would want it to be released only on certain terms and conditions, which Nokia decided that will happen on a very certain occation...
wonder whether he will respond to the negative ones...
