or something...
True... understood but considering this FW update. it would have need to be pass a certain stage e.g. testing before its release to be available to endusers. I sincerely believe that there was more to this than just this bug of the Simcard. So, the delay could have been a cascading issue which involve the simcard bug.

Imagine this scenario if only 40% of the world population who purchased the N900 and it did not work with their operator. That would be a major blow for Nokia and Maemo
