I'm currently using the uk firmware and not the vodafone variant and wonder if this is the best option or if there would be any network specific updates that i might need or indeed if switching to the vodafone variant would put limitations on the device. Finally... will my device simply update with the standard uk firmware as this is the currently installed version or will my phone recognise the vodafone sim and try to update the vodafone variant? Questions, questions, questions I know.

Personally I would leave it with the generic UK firmware. AFAIK the only thing I can see which the VF variant has is the APN details already loaded when you get the phone which is a lot less than they usually put on.

I think that the network branded firmwares get updates slower than generic and if you decide to get rid of the handset then a generic firmware would be better IMO. The operator SIM will not make a difference AFAIK.

Isnt /203 a UK Variant, and not a network variant.

Vodafone is /205.

I have /203 so I should have the update available!

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?

My N900 came from Car Phone Warehouse, completely unlocked and unbranded from Vodafone. I don't think there are any branded N900s out there.

No update for me yet.

Neither of these are available yet. I think the Uk people who've updated already are those running the global (MR0) firmware.

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?

This thread is SO similar to the "When will the N900 ship"-threads that it sediments my existing opinions about any and all N900 owners...

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?

fyi.

If your phone starts to run really slow after the update then just shut it down and restart..

Happened to mee and restart worked...

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?

Going to try updating to the new FW via flashing. Just wanted to confirm that RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin is the right file for me.

My N900 was from Nokia UK.
