Hi,
Encouraged by your video of the Bluetooth keyboard and N900.
My Maemo 5 is labeled V20.2010.36.2. I can not get the keyboard to do anything!
I can not find the update to V3. Any suggestions? I bought my phone SIM free and I am using an Orange 2G SIM. Chris

I think that was what I was on.
Seriously, the firmware flashing really is quite painless and almost everything (theme, desktop shortcuts and application list are lost) is preserved.

I really am hoping as well that flashing to the global varient, rather than than the one that started out as the UK specific will mean that next time I get my updates along with everyone else.

I got bored waiting and flashed the phone with the global version of the new firmware. http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php
I noticed in there that there was listed a UK variant of the first version available. I assuming that that variant has the slower upgrade path.
Maybe now I have the global one I’ll get the firmware updates at the same time as everyone else.

I was pleasantly surprised at the painlessness. All my contacts and calendar entries were still present as were many of my settings such as ring tone, browser bookmarks etc.

I had done a backup so could possibly have done a restore of the application list but did have a couple of items from extras-devel and if they were unoptified and had been wiped it could have caused more of an issue so I just re-installed the apps. All application settings were preserved as were playlists for mediabox.

So far all seems good and I have experienced no issues.
