Probably a lot slower than it is without, no doubt.

Vodafone did try. They had their own product numbers which blocked firmware updates via Nokia Updater.
Resulted in a big slanging match on the Voda eForum, with Voda coming back with all sorts of weak excuses why we couldn't have the updates. So the majority of users voided their Voda warranties, which were deemed worthless anyway. I don't think the N9 will have a plan B for updates like the N900 did, probably all taken care of.

Not that I'm interested in how the N9 performs, (unavailable and too damn expensive and short lived to be of any use) being the main reasons why.
None of the manufacturers have come up with anything to tempt me away from my N900 yet.
