What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

The title says it!

Plus i'd like to know :

Thanks guys!

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

please test it and come back to tell us. :)

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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.

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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.

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

Ok (:

I flashed the global one after all.

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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 (:

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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.

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

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

Re: What are the differences between USA / Middle east / Global versions of PR1.2?
 

really?
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

Hmmmmm...
So I think I know, To Confuse us!!!!

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.
