Hi
Look here Helmut reports no problem with "3" usim.

Is there a mechanism in the N900 that could prevent me from updating to a new Maemo release (flash or SSU) if the carrier doesn't want me to? I had this situation with my current phone, needed to change product code etc. ... Does the N900 even have a thing such as a "prduct code"?

This is the official reply from service@a1.net:

danke für Ihr E-Mail!

Wenn ein Gerätehersteller ein Firmware Update bereitstellt, wird dieses zuerst einer umfangreichen Überprüfung durch unsere Spezialisten unterzogen. Vom Ergebnis dieser Tests hängt es ab, ob das Firmwareupdate freigegeben wird und somit für unsere Kunden zur Verfügung steht.

Dies ist, abgesehen von dem von Ihnen bereits erwähnten SIM Lock die einzige Einschränkung.

Translation: If Nokia releases a firmware update, it must first be reviewed by A1 service people. They decide if it's ready to be released to their customers. Like benny1967 said, they're not really good at this. I'll be buying an unlocked device. Btw, Amazon.at now ships the N900 to Austria as well (last time I looked that wasn't possible).

Hi,
Does anyone has experience on this?
How long does A1 review the firmware before they release the new one?

Today I was one step away from buying a N900 from A1 but I don't want to wait a few month for the update. Not for a Maemo update.

i have bought the n900 from a1. mine isn't branded. i get all the maemo updates as soon as they're released. (much sooner than the poor guys in the UK. ;)...)
