I got my latest and last n900 from HK last week.
it came with a garbage kingtston 4gb microsdhc card so beware
but I checked out my latest n900 it didnt have the latest firmware on it so I flashed it then something odd happened I didnt have happen before some keys were mistyping I went to settings and input iirc
the keyboard was set to something other than english(netherlands?)
easy fix but dont recall having this happen before.
Yeah, sounds like a Dutch device with a replaced housing and an English after-market keyboard. Flashing restores all original settings including the locale. No biggie, all you need to do is change your locale/keyboard/etc settings after flashing.
