    My N900 has the PR1.2 '203' variant, and when I ask it to check for updates, the two Nokia and one Ovi repo. all fail to update with an error of (in 'detail') 'Proxy CONNECT aborted'.
    If I swap from Vodafone GPRS to my local WiFi, then the refresh succeeds fine, so it's not that the repos are offline, it's something up with Vodafone UK.

    Can anyone confirm or even better shed some light on what is up ?

    I presume you were not offered the PR1.3? I also have the dreaded 203 variant, thinking about going global as I still haven't been offered the update.

    check via wifi to confirm your theory first
    edit i was offered - but only to install via nokia suite though :P (probably due to rootfs space - back on wireless now and installing as i type)

    I'm on the global firmware using a Vodafone sim, and I haven't been offered the update via wi-fi or the GPRS connection yet either. So maybe it's just not our time yet. For what it's worth, I don't get any proxy blocked error message using the GPRS connection to check the Nokia repos.

    I got impatient and decided to switch to global firmware, worked a treat. I did a backup first and restored after refllashing:


    C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5>flasher-3.5.exe -F c:\RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

    Is anything different with the global firmware ? i.e. allowed WiFi frequencies etc. ?

    Yep, one or more of the higher wifi channels is not used in the global firmware. Can't remember if its just channel 13 or others too.

    You're thinking of bug 5699, which affects both the global and 203 variants equally.

    Ah, could be. I shifted my AP up to a high channel number and the N900 followed it when it changed. However it wouldn't use the same channel after a reboot, which seemed a bit odd.

    I wasn't aware of that particular bug report.
