The UK has OTA update - but this particular firmware release has not been enabled for the UK.

Is it worth goin through the effort to update? I heard somewhere that pr 1.1 will be included within the next major update for uk users. There doesn't seem to be any major changes within the pr 1.1 that i can't live without :)
I would rather wait for the next firware update before flashin my device.

Good thread though :)
Still can't believe Nokia bypassed us brits!!!

There is no UK-specific PR1.1.1 released by Nokia. I certainly never got it OTA, despite getting all other updates. Perhaps it's to do with operator? I'm using Vodafone.

I agree with you. However the update does give some advantages:-

Improved battery life under WiFi
Browser improvements
Upgraded OpenGL ES support - more working games!

I personally needed it for games development on the device.

The full change log is here - http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_5/PR1.1.1

Ah the irony of this... just as the OP spends a considerable amount of time providing those excellent instructions, Nokia finally decides to release PR1.1.1 for the UK.

Still, I guess the instructions can be kept around, should this situation repeat itself... I certainly hope not!

I've followed the directions exactly, only I'm using Win7 64bit, when I enter the command through the maemo flasher I get "suitable USB device not found, waiting."
I've waited and nothing happens. Windows recognises when I connect the n900 (switched off, with the U key held down), but it seems that the flasher doesn't.
Is this an issue anyone else is having or am I doing something wrong?

Can I get this sorted before the rugby?

Out of luck, I'm afraid - it won't work with 64-bit Windows. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher#Tips_.26_troubleshooting.

Hopefully England will have more luck tonight ...

I got PR 1.1.1 OTA at 6am today. Updated from under the duvet.

It's called patience.

Yeah, ironic isn't it. I post this and then 12 hours later they release the update anyway.

Next time I'll wait under the duvet too.

*Sits on fingers not to post anything improper*

I'm glad it finally arrived. I feel a bit less of a second-class citizen now. Until the next one is delayed.
