I originally had the Vodafone version and flashed to generic UK to get 1.2
I just gave up waiting and flashed to global. No problems. As previously mentioned, as long as you do a backup (I did mine to memory card), then follow the flashing instructions and restore your backup afterwards, there is very little that you lose. It just takes some time for it to redownload all your applications, but it does that for you, you don't have to go and find them again.
Overall much easier than you would think.

"New software is available for your Nokia N900. To update and enjoy great new features go to nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate on your PC"

There is no update available - yet.

honetly guys you should flash your device. i used to be in same position as you post pr1.2
i had brought my phone from vodafone and was running their firmware variant. it was painful waiting around for an update that was never coming!
i'm no geek, just a regular user and after reading a few threads and the wiki i just flashed to pr 1.2 global. i done a backup and only flashed the firmware not emmc. follow instructions, its very simple only takes like half hour. once thats done just do a backup restore and all your settings and apps will be reinstalled on your device.
simples (compare the meerkat lol)

As I am lazy and cannot be bothered with looking through this post, does anyone have any news on PR1.3 release date? Again, I apologise for being lazy!

It's bizarre, because using Navifirm you can even download the firmware image for the UK variant of PR1.3, so it makes you wonder why they are delaying pushing it OTA and onto tablets-dev, really..

Meh, I'd still rather wait for OTA than have to flash to global. PR1.2 wasn't that delayed for what I remember so hopefully should be any day now.
