I tried to start with clean device but I couldn't found any way for doing that. '/home/user' and '/opt' seems to keep all information even after upgrade. Also setting device to factory defaults didn't do anything to that data.
This could be due to UPD (User Data Preservation)

Ok then.
could it be that Venomrush queried SKUs for the preview/summit devices and that they've changed for the final devices?

the SKU for the german N900 seems to be different.
shop.nokia.de has it listed as sku=6958534, whereas venomrush queried SKU 0574383 for germany.

shop.nokia.co.uk has it listed as 10208380, and in venomrush's post it's listed as 0560826..

No, it has to do with the fact that system data on the N900 is scattered over three partitions, the 228MB rootfs, the 2GB /dev/mmcblk0p2 which is both the /home and /opt directories, and /dev/mmcblk0p1 which is the 27GB FAT partition mounted as /home/user/MyDocs.

If you want to update the entire device, you have to get two firmware images, the "main" one, which updates the rootfs, and the "eMMC" one, which updates the /dev/mmcblk0p? partitions.

venomrush provided you the product id, no the sku
two totally different things
