all other variants of the firmware are available (india usa middle east and affrica) what is so special or different about the uk version that justifys this delay
Its starting to p**s me off as we had to wait for PR1.2 and now PR1.3. Think i'm going to reflash to the Global and be done with it.

My advice to everyone here is to flash to Global Firmware. Though PR1.3 has bought very very little noticeable differences (no new features etc), it is still not ideal to be the last to get updates.

I'm on Vodafone UK and switched to Global during the PR1.2 fiasco. I faced the same problems with Voda so went Global.

i would go global but one tiny thing is stopping me my house got burgled and my data cable was taken why??? i have no idea but it was one of a lot of things stolen i did have a second cable at work but what did some clever person do run over the end with a chair crushing the connector which now doesnt fit my N900 im cable-less update-less and starting to get a bit cheesed off i understand it doesnt bring new features etc but to be able to keep up with everyone else would be nice

Really frustrated also. Haven't got the PR 1.3 OTA update yet here in Nairobi, Kenya. I bought my N900 in London. The PR 1.2 didn't take this long, I got it on the second day after release.

I purchased my phone direct from nokia uk and still have got no ota update!

If I flash to global firmware, would it be possible to backup my high score in angry birds, maps etc?

looking in my apt[1] i have downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/203 (unbranded generic) and a friend downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 (unbranded italy).

so... maybe we have differents repository and so we don't have the updates yet (i guess).

[1] cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

I've tried changing the repository for the software updates to mr0 but this had absolutely no effect.

203 is the UK firmware, and MR0 is the global generic version.

The packages have different names as well, so just changing the repository won't help. You really need to reflash in order to change the firmware variant.

Nope, nobody from Nokia has ever responded on this question, and nobody who's switched firmware has been able to find any differences.

If you've not made lots of customisations, or bought much from Ovi (you only get 5 downloads per app), then I'd just reflash to the global generic and have done with it.
