Try running "uname -a" in xterm and see what it says.
Here's what I noticed with that.

Mine said 42-11 or whatever.

I updated to 44-1 and Uname-a did not change

I updated to 52-1 and it now says unknown. I did all upgrades OTA. Also my Conky still said 42-11 after the first update, and now doesn't say anything at all about FW level. That's just an echo of the hostname I believe. Mine says the Hostname, which I changed.

Reason I changed the Hostname was that after all the upgrades it never changed from 42-11. Also, it was just too freakin' long for my Tastes. Nw it is "Nokia-N900" Short and sweet. I figured if Nokia was going to "miss" it during the upgrades it would read what I wanted rather than an obsolete/incorrect FW level.

N.B to change hostname, open your favorite editor and change /etc/hostname
