I would remove that image...
Not good to have IMEI around.

What are odds for a delivery with ver: 1.1 before end of this year?
And I mean deliver to shops and home to customers who had preordered in Sweden!

As Browser Portrait mode was announced for Christmas at Maemo Summit I expect an update by Christmas.

Not good quoting the image then, too
So you should probably do the same - remove the image from your post.
If the original author removes the link, it'll get automatically removed (and this is what seems to have happened right now)

Anyway, since is the phone ID, it's always better not to show it around. You never know what a bad hacker/cracker could do with it.

You mean the same way someone could steal your license plate number and drive around with it?
WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR LICENSE PLATES!!!
I'm sorry but i've read many times that one sould protect the imei number.
i don't see why.
let someone steal it and use my imei number to make illegal phone calls

Is this what Nokia Sweden talked about as version "1.1"?

I don't know, but I'd bet that new Nokia phones would never be delayed in Finland while shipping in other countries.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just speculating that Nokia enjoys such tremendous goodwill and "we"-spirit among people in Finland (in general) that a sound business choice would be not to disturb those sentiments.
...so, in conclusion, all this makes me think that if ordering from Finland is not too much hassle for us here in Sweden (otherwise one could order to a friends address over there), that's what I'll do in the future.
Anyway. I'll wait for the 1.1 FW (unless I happen to be in Finland and see the N900 in a shop while still waiting for my swedish order), since anything other than Maemo is not an option for me at the moment. I want the opennes and freedom an linuxiness that Maemo has and even Android doesn't.
