I like the fact that they actually announced the release yesterday...
but we still can't get it. I wish I'd installed the leaked version last week. It's not on really that they haven't got a UK version considering we're in week 43 now and the release is from week 36.
I'm going to flash the global firmware.
Great new Nokia N900 software update available http://bit.ly/bSHgOi
I'm going to flash the global firmware.

There isn't a way to provide very much in the way of detail in the upgrade message itself, so they'd be restricted to a popup post-install, when it's too late.
But we stray from the point :-)

It seems to me Nokia have already released the UK version.......the global release! Don't see why Nokia would make the UK any different so likelihood it is the networks.
After the fiasco of PR1.2 for us Vodafone customers most of us have probably experienced flashing before anyway.
So why the hold up?
If memory serves PR1.2 was released in the UK first so no reason for 1.3 to be delayed.
Conclusion......it is the networks.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.............its probably a duck!
I wouldn't be surprised if its Vodafone's 'check' process that is holding it up for all.
Lets save the Nokia bashing for something worthwhile and put this one firmly in the networks court!
