My N9 is being updated right now through NSU but I was curious about flashing (I refreshed on the device and it didn't see any OTA updates.)
I've done it on the N900 a few times and I was just wondering if they had a global vanilla FW like the N900 did. I see that there are some NDT (vanilla) variants but they had a couple country or region identifiers attached to them. I did see a few with "NDT ROW" but I'm not sure if that's global.

Just planning for the future if I get impatient when 1.2 drops and my product code variant doesn't get updated for some time.
