Dude!!

The uk wait really has nothing to do with your network unless you are running a vodafone ROM!

There are generic versions for various regions, I'm unbranded and running the generic uk variant of 1.2. This build has not been updated yet for some reason (Nokia do move in mysterious ways). Being in the UK it just seemed to make sense to flash that version to my handset. Obviously if i have to wait too long i'd concider doin the global update, but i'm sure there some minor differences in regards to wifi fequencies between the global & UK version, dunno how much diff it would make tho.
