Probably a Vodafone thing. They had the N900 on an exclusive when it first came out. I've never found out, but does it carry Voda apps and bookmarks or is 'clean' so to speak. Worse, it's not got a voda version of Fremantle has it ??

Could the delay in Nokia not providing PR 1.3 to UK users being anything to do with adding special spy code to the firmware for the UK government?

One way is to go into "Settings > About Product"
You'll see a number like:
10.2010.19-1.203.1
(That's UK PR1.2)
It's the 203 that tells you which firmware. 203 is UK generic. 205 is Vodafone specific*. Without the 20x code there - not UK firmware.
* = most people in the UK on Vodafone will be on 203 (like me) only those who bought the phone directly from Vodafone (not Carphone Warehouse, Nokia etc.) seem to have that firmware.

I've also just received a text stating the update was available (I'm on t-mob with variant 203) but is said I had to do it using the PC. And indeed there is nothing on AppMan.
My only concern is that some people have reported the PC update (200MB) to wipe the phone of all data, settings, apps etc - is that correct? Will create a backup now anyway but if poss I wanted to avoid the extra work of restoring stuff.
