My advice to everyone here is to flash to Global Firmware. Though PR1.3 has bought very very little noticeable differences (no new features etc), it is still not ideal to be the last to get updates.
I'm on Vodafone UK and switched to Global during the PR1.2 fiasco. I faced the same problems with Voda so went Global.

i would go global but one tiny thing is stopping me my house got burgled and my data cable was taken why??? i have no idea but it was one of a lot of things stolen i did have a second cable at work but what did some clever person do run over the end with a chair crushing the connector which now doesnt fit my N900 im cable-less update-less and starting to get a bit cheesed off i understand it doesnt bring new features etc but to be able to keep up with everyone else would be nice

Really frustrated also. Haven't got the PR 1.3 OTA update yet here in Nairobi, Kenya. I bought my N900 in London. The PR 1.2 didn't take this long, I got it on the second day after release.

I purchased my phone direct from nokia uk and still have got no ota update!
If I flash to global firmware, would it be possible to backup my high score in angry birds, maps etc?

looking in my apt[1] i have downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/203 (unbranded generic) and a friend downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 (unbranded italy).
so... maybe we have differents repository and so we don't have the updates yet (i guess).
[1] cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

Does anyone know the difference between the UK and the Global firmware? I'm tempted to flash the global firmware as the other updates have been blocked.
If you've not made lots of customisations, or bought much from Ovi (you only get 5 downloads per app), then I'd just reflash to the global generic and have done with it.
