There is nothing in the vodafone version that is vodafone specific except the hard coded apn that I can see so I personally cannot see any reason for Vodafone to drag its feet.

This has been mentioned many times on other forums and Vodafone themselves stated somewhere as long the firmware was official Nokia firmware the warranties would not be voided.

I read on Vodafone's own forum (back in March I think) that their own warranty would be voided. That doesn't mean that Nokia's warranty would be and of course it could be outdated information.

I understand / learning that I can flash to this upgrade (and plan to try this weekend), but was just thinking out load that it would be cool if i could just press a widget and could force a missing upgrade to my handset rather than having to chase it through different sites.

Hope this makes sense?
I don't think it's as simple as that... you're asking for an app that will fool the phone into thinking it has a different version of the firmware so that it will download different updates, I think.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster and it would be far easier just to re-flash with the generic firmware image. That's been my plan for at least a couple of months but I foolishly decided to wait for the PR1.2 release before doing it.
