PR1.1.1 N900 Update still not out in the UK
by Jim on Feb.20, 2010, under Maemo, Operating Systems
The N900 received an update from v2.2009.51.1 to V3.2010.02-08 on the 16th of this month; however, thi update is still not available to owners in the UK. The firmware update is not available via the N900’s application manager nor via Nokia Software Updater.
The N900 software page on Maemo.org only shows PR1.1.1 for the US, the middle east, and ‘global’. The site only offers PR1.1 for UK devices.
Previously, Nokia could hide behind the network operators who like to fill devices with bloatware; which meant the firmware needed extra testing. Often it was down to the operator to release the update, so Nokia were not to blame. However, the N900 was sold without network branding and typically direct from Nokia. So why has this update taken so long to reach the UK? And why is their a Vodaphone only variant for some users?
