My N900 has the PR1.2 '203' variant, and when I ask it to check for updates, the two Nokia and one Ovi repo. all fail to update with an error of (in 'detail') 'Proxy CONNECT aborted'.
If I swap from Vodafone GPRS to my local WiFi, then the refresh succeeds fine, so it's not that the repos are offline, it's something up with Vodafone UK.
Can anyone confirm or even better shed some light on what is up ?

check via wifi to confirm your theory first
edit i was offered - but only to install via nokia suite though :P (probably due to rootfs space - back on wireless now and installing as i type)

I'm on the global firmware using a Vodafone sim, and I haven't been offered the update via wi-fi or the GPRS connection yet either. So maybe it's just not our time yet. For what it's worth, I don't get any proxy blocked error message using the GPRS connection to check the Nokia repos.

Is anything different with the global firmware ? i.e. allowed WiFi frequencies etc. ?

I wasn't aware of that particular bug report.
