Why is everyone calling it a "firmware". Is this the term Nokia is using? Just curious. Seems like a term more suited to BIOSes, controller chips, dumb phones, and SCSI adapters and HBA's.

N900 seems like we should be using more desktop terms like "Operating system, distro, build, reinstall." Seems like "reinstall the OS with the latest build" sounds more appropriate for the n900 than "reflash the firmware".
