Nokia N900 Firmware Update 49-2 Leaked-Procedure To Flash New Maemo Firmware

Nokia has been testing the Nokia N900 new firmware with a few testers and it is not yet released out. But someone has leaked it out to the world. I got this news from My-Symbian, there you can also found the link to the firmware file. If you are enthusiastic to test it then you can test it after downloading it. But keep it in mind this firmware is not an authorized one to believe in it blindly, so it may harm your device. So it is up to you to test it or not.
