The version I got a few days ago was 20.2010.36-2 There was no way of finding out if it was global or UK until the UK one was actually released and someone had it installed and looked at the version.
Yes there is - the UK firmware version always uses .203 (or .205 for the Vodafone version). The other regional variants use similar codes (001, 002, etc) and the global one doesn't have an extended code.
You can also check this by seeing which mp-fremantle-XXX-pr package you have installed (dpkg -l "mp-fremantle*") - if it's mp-fremantle-generic-pr then it's generic, whereas the regional variants will have the region code instead of "generic".
is thier away to change the product code on the n900 so i can get the update i tried phoenix but you seem to need usename and password to change it. just don't fancy flashing and loosing my setup..

i didnt even know there was a update due untill i got a text from nokia, i got all excited and spent nearly 2 hours ( while at work) trying to update my phone only to find that nokia are treating there uk custumers as unimportant
still nothing. how dangerous is a flash to global firmware?!
about as dangerous as boiling an egg lol
honetly guys you should flash your device. i used to be in same position as you post pr1.2
i had brought my phone from vodafone and was running their firmware variant. it was painful waiting around for an update that was never coming!
i'm no geek, just a regular user and after reading a few threads and the wiki i just flashed to pr 1.2 global. i done a backup and only flashed the firmware not emmc. follow instructions, its very simple only takes like half hour. once thats done just do a backup restore and all your settings and apps will be reinstalled on your device.
