Damned, that was yesterday!It's a old message. And I have it already on my device.
So they selectively send an SMS about a new software upgrade to those people only who already upgraded the software.
To answer your question: "My Nokia" is useful. It's useful if you want any more proof that Nokia is absolutely incapable of communicating with its customers.
EDIT: i wonder why they don't just offer a pre-installed RSS feed as they did with previous Maemo versions....

Should we be worried that the PR 1.2 update sent nokia our phone numbers with out our permission.
I didn't tell nokia I had an N900 and up till now have been receiveng SMSs for my old N97. I now have one regarding my N900.
It doesn't bother me, but they didn't ask.

i find that this is unacceptable, though. (i even wonder if this is legal here in austria... i'd guess it's not.)

The Application manager gives us all a yellow information mark that there is a update.

IT's just that those "My Nokia" text messages will (I'm 100% certain about this) not reach those who didn't upgrade. The registration at My Nokia was forced after the PR1.2 upgrade (without a possibility to decline), and I cannot image any N900 user registered there before PR1.2.

Should I cancel the subscription after this first annoying message or is it possible that there is something useful comming?
I can see it already: We all get before the end of the month the news that ovi maps has improved the poi feature with a nice link to a colorful webpage and the invitation: UPDATE NOW!
We are all clicking on the Link and 3 Webpages later: "Only for Symbian S60V3/5"
