No you are using the current version
Public Release 1.1: 2.2009.51-1.205.1 or 203.1 is what majority of UK users have been using.
Public Release 1.1.1: 3.2010.02-8.203 has been released today. Those on 205 variant (like myself) are still waiting.
i have flashed my phone with this
RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM
once..
i think this is the global variant?
am i right?
and according to whatevr the above variant is, and my firmware..ie 3.2010.02-8...should i expect a firmware update released today or i already have that?>

So hopefully people are getting to grips with how to clear their root folders and launching this update. But does anyone have any insight into why it has appeared and what changes its made, if any?!

Would appreciate if someone can reply this:
- What is the difference between Global and UK firmware versions?
- Does it mean updating (Flashing) phone to latest GLOBAL version 3.2010.02-8 will allow me to use any sim card outside UK?
Sorry if anyone has already replied to these questions.

hi
while updating my 203 uk generic n900 OTA, I got an error "operation failed" while the update was downloading to the device...it appeared for a while n then dissappeared. The download finished and then it started updating and the rest of the update process went smoothly. I had 60 mb free space on rootfs, I had disabled extra, extra devel and my maemo repo too jst incase. Now my qs is why did it give me tht error? and do i need to worry?
