Bump! Common guys, I need to know the difference between versions so I can decide which one to flash!

I think there is no big difference only language packs and maybe keyboard

I think stuff like Nokia Messaging and regional settings are affected.

You guys think Israel is apart of middle east version?
I don't like it that there is no "feature list"/"change log" each version to help me realize the difference.

There is virtually no difference. You can install any variant of the firmware on any device.

Thank you Andrew, and all the rest who replied!
I wonder why they release 4 versions then... ):

I think the FM transmitter is disabled with some firmware.

And possibly the WiFi channels available are different depending on which firmware you use (different regulatory domains)

I've read some posts telling something like wireless channels (one channel is blocked in Europe, I think).

Ok (:

I flashed the global one after all.

Still no official list of what changes and what is crippled in each variant?

I couldn't find any, but after collecting the info I can only assume it's about FM Transmitter Freq' and Wifi channels.
Just install the one which matches to where you live and you should be good to go (:

The differences are fairly simple:
* Locale / Language specifics
* Radio Frequency differences & power levels
* IM restrictions (Some variations don't have Skype)

That's about it, not much more to say. If you flash with the global version there are no restrictions that you can't overcome with applications available in the repo's.

whay restrictions does thw global come with? And which restrictions in the US version can't be fixed with stuff from the repos?

Skype is available on USA firmware, Radio Frequency is all the same in every firmware (I flashed all of them to see the differences)
Locale language differences is none.

No Idea why there is nothing different between those firmwares

because the n900s from Hong Kong dont have the fm transmitter, cant remember the reason though something along the lines of, it's prohibited to use unauthorised radio tranmissions

There is no Hong Kong image file on the server either. The ony Asia I found is India/Russia image.

So I believe Hong Kong version has some sort of unique image.
