It will tell you to use the Nokia software updater :)

Anyway as stated above, UK still doesnt have an update :(

I have disabled all catalogues apart from the Nokia ones, I have deleted about 12 applications and I still have not got enough root space (about 38.4mb free). Either my device is abnormally chewing up root space (which may explain why it has been acting so totally crap last couple of days) or there has to be a more sensible allocation of root space by Nokia. Can't have to delete like 15 apps each time there is an update.

I was offered all the available binaries, and have downloaded the Global binary.

For everyones information, there are inly three new binaries available:

USA: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin
MENA: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin
Global: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

There is no, I repeat, NO UK variant of the firmware available. The latest UK version is still:

UK: RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.203.2_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin

The question is, will I damage my phone if I try to install the Global binary onto my (UK) hardware?:confused:

I suspect that Vodafone is to blame - they will be developing the UK unbranded version in parallel with the UK Vodafone version, and if the Vodafone version gets held up in approvals then us unbranded users will also get hit :mad:

You won't amage anything installing the global binary - several people have done that already (nobody knows what the difference between the regional variants is anyway). And I doubt it's anything to do with Vodafone - the last 203 update came out several hours before the 205 update.

The package preventing upgrade for me was ioquake3.

Is that PC software? if so, my monitor is out of action so no PC at the moment...

When I run apt-get upgrade it says:

The following packages have been kept back:
hildon-initscripts

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)

Okay my device definitely has serious problems. Disk usage app is showing 42.6mb free and I still can't instal. I thought it was meant to be 41mb to have enough space. Actually I am not sure I understand what this diskusage means. It shows free 38.4mb (root:42.6mb). What is the 38.4mb?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)

1. my system slows down suddenly very often, i have to restart the system

2. when bt device is connected, the wifi connection randomly disconnects.

3. the battery drains very fast (10% within 20 min)

Yes it is :) - but normally by clearing enough space and being prepared, means you should be fine for OTA - not sure if hildon is affected, (Well that specific one)... there is a list somewhere. (And a thread dedicated to posts related to that part)
