The update can be installed from inside the Application Manager. Tap "Updates" and it will appear as "Maemo 5."

If you've made alterations to the layout of your file system (moving things off the rootfs, deleting things) then the update may not work.

Beware of the security breach.
Nokia wants to make a database of people, IMEIs, SIMs, using a N900.

I almost wish I hadn't given my name, address and phone number to Microsoft a zillion times, and to many other companies.

Here in the US they are trying to pass a law meaning that it's impossible to have a prepaid phone without having presented id, and the phone manufacturer will be required to keep the information on you. And I think the law probably will pass.
