Hey guys!
I finally got my off ebay.co.uk N900 today, been wanting it since it came out. Have been playing with it for some hours now, and am truly amazed. I only have a small problem.
I would like to get the latest firmware, as the reported FW-version of my device is 1.2009.42-11.205.1. When I go to the update manager on the phone, or through Nokia PC-suite, they both say I have the newest FW installed. However, if I go to http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware, click N900 and insert my IMEI, I get this list:

My questions are as follows:
Why don't the newer software updates show in the update manager or PC-suite?
Since it is a UK-phone, can I still install the european PR 1.1.1 version 3.2010.02-8 using the flasher? I am a bit confused as there is a seperate webpage regarding uk-devices (http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_UK_variant_firmware). To make it even more confusing, there is a separation between regular UK FW and Vodafone FW (I can see that I have Vodafone FW-version now, but the phone is sim-unlocked). And what happens if I install the "wrong" FW?
