Looks like Nokia can't even respond on their own website. You'd think someone from Nokia (who either surfs here or on Nokia Support) would make a statement - even if it says 'its coming'!
Nokia and customers don't seem to mix do they. I think they could learn something if they only thought about us for 30 seconds.
If anyone says I'm a troll or am whinging will get told to @@@@ ***.
I don't think I'm being impatient either. Day 3 no update while the rest of the world sits back grinning with their faster and slicker N900's.....I'm not bitter
I'm just a pissed customer.
Why? I want the N900 to be a success like the rest of us. Leaving out certain groups without explanation isn not on - even if we had a message saying its not coming to us or its coming but later - will do!
So, I have taken matters into my own hands and flashed my phone. It all seems to have worked and didn't take too long. I backed-up first so that I could restore my settings and applications. I used the following resources:
Pretty painless procedure really. I only lost my startup video and the theme changed, otherwise everything's back to normal. The backup app works like a dream.
I realise the update is not that important, but I'm pretty sure the next one will be and I don't want to be hanging round for days (weeks/months?) for Nokia to get off their collective backsides and release a UK specific version.
hmmm i'm thinking about it but a few concerns.....
Will the backu pback up all my adddress book, email settings, ,fapn settings etc?
(I know it creates a list of applications, but thats not the same as saving settings!)

yes to all! also get a list of apps to redownload (when i restored backup i decided not to install some of them)
not flashed yet, but did you loose anything?
Ie, the dev api's and things i have installed... - god knows what i have installed... (Or probably doesnt)
After it flashed I restored the backup, and after that it spent quite a while downloading all of the applications that I had previously installed. Everything seems to have restored without a problem.
