Hi, two questions:

1 Why are UK firmware updates delayed? I am NOT on a Vodafone branded device. I bought mine direct from Nokia UK, so it is on the generic UK release. Is it possible that the generic UK releases share code or release resources with the Vodafone branded version, therefore delaying the generic release until the Vodafone release is ready? Perhaps the same team releases the generic UK version as releases the Vodafone version? Can anyone shed any light on this frustrating situation?

2 Why do we have a special Vodafone UK version anyway? I thought that Nokia were supposed to have refused operator specials for Maemo.


I think it's too much of a coincidence that we have a special UK Vodafone release and that the generic UK releases are delayed. Are there any other operator specials around the world?

I guess I must be on a UK Firmware then. I was wondering why I seemed to be the only one without the update!

The same thing happened with one of the other updates (can't remember if it was PR1.1.1 or PR1.2). It was weeks before we got it. In fact, it might have been a month.

It's very frustrating.

Hmm, I guess I'm running the international firmware in that case as I did an OTA update yesterday.

What features should the UK version have over and above the International one I'm running? I have £ signs where they should be, etc.

Here's an explanation

I have product code 0593611 too. As to why there's more than one uk product code, and why they don't get the updates at the same time, no idea...

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 ?
