I would get off 205 variant asap if i were you. I bought my N900 direct from Nokia on a VF contract so that i would not have Vf messing with my device. I was amazed when i re-flashed my N95 8Gb how many features Vodafone had inhibited.

Research & Development (RD) mode is one way of getting root access which gives you a great deal more control but can also break your device. You can now also gain root access by installing rootsh from the application manager - search the wiki for more on this.

You've got the global firmware, not the UK-specific variant, so you would have had the update several weeks ago.

But I still receved the firmware update yesterday.

The phone operates with their network. The operator will want to make sure that things work as expected. If the operator is supplying a variant phone (205 is vodafone specific) then they have a need to support it. This is not always to do with visible branding.
