Your really NOT missing much to tell the truth. If you want it that much !! Just flash to " global ".
Had my N900 since last December and the 1st thing I did was flash to "global" Never had any problems..
Kind Regards Qosmio

I'm aware the UK variant firmware hasn't been released - I said so in the first post in this thread!

Well I had the UK PR1.2 running. I didn't get the update, so I flashed the N900 with the Global PR1.3 firmware.
This might be a bad idea if you have loads of apps installed and stuff, as they will be removed. This wasn't too bad for me, because the N8 is my new phone which I use on a daily basis. The N900 is just a device which I use to learn some programming on (I'm still a student)...
Either way, I don't find any major differences between PR1.2 and PR1.3 .. But, just like all of you, I would love to know the difference between the Global and UK firmware.

You'll see a number like:
10.2010.19-1.203.1
(That's UK PR1.2)
It's the 203 that tells you which firmware. 203 is UK generic. 205 is Vodafone specific*. Without the 20x code there - not UK firmware.
* = most people in the UK on Vodafone will be on 203 (like me) only those who bought the phone directly from Vodafone (not Carphone Warehouse, Nokia etc.) seem to have that firmware.
