Hmm, this post suggests that it is the shipping firmware.
Ok then.
the SKU for the german N900 seems to be different.
shop.nokia.de has it listed as sku=6958534, whereas venomrush queried SKU 0574383 for germany.
shop.nokia.co.uk has it listed as 10208380, and in venomrush's post it's listed as 0560826..

This could be due to UPD (User Data Preservation)
If you want to update the entire device, you have to get two firmware images, the "main" one, which updates the rootfs, and the "eMMC" one, which updates the /dev/mmcblk0p? partitions.
