I bought a generic unbranded N900 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK and I still haven't got the update available either.
It's frustrating that they've delayed it this time too, what was the reason for the PR1.2 delay in the UK? Does anyone remember?

You can also find it by going to settings on your phone and 'about product'

Do you think the Vodafone PR1.3 firmware will add anything extra compared to global firmware . such as branding or even locking the device to vodafone ?
I'd highly recommend using the flasher to install the global firmware, then you won't have this issue again. Vodafone have also explicitly confirmed that if the firmware is officially provided by Nokia, then installing it does not void warranty - so you're fine to go ahead and do that.

Sounded like rubbish then, sounds like rubbish now. I suspect that Nokia UK are just useless
