Something like this is not uncommon. Take a look at HTC for example: When Windows 6.5 was released last year, the updates for the Touch Pro 2 rolled out slow and uncoordinated. Tweo weeks after release they supplied upgrades for four countries. We german people had to wait more than four weeks after first english firmware release till they supplied our version of the whole thing. For some countries it took even longer.

Also keep in mind that the N900 was completely launched in Hong Kong with PR 1.2 - maybe even an early adopted international version.

Stupid question... but are there any hardware differences between the the HK N900 and the rest? Different cell radios or anything?

i remember reading that the only difference is the radio transmitter which isnt built in the hk-version due to a law.
other than that, its identic.

Disabled, yes, but I suspect the hardware is identical down to that chip. The radio can probably be re-enabled with certain tools available in the Maemo repositories.

The firmware version is exactly the same with the "leaked" version.

What is the default input method for chinese? I noticed some pretty cool looking character recognition in the video on your blog! Its also somehow mentioned at http://www.nokia.com.hk/N900 but I don't read chinese well enough to understand (and its in flash :(). Is it really there? That would be awesome!

It's the handwriting solution provided by PenPower. Although Nokia Hong Kong promotes it, it's a third-party app and users will have to download it and install it by themselves.
