Ok so it worked by going global on the firmware. I can do that and it will probably solve our "no sim" problem but for how long? The real question is: Why do some of us have this problem and some of us dont? My wife and I have the same firmwares installed and she doesn't have that problem at all. Here is the difference:

My wife has never done any downloading of apps of any kind, her phone is like brand new. I'm the one who enabled all the repositories on my phone and downloaded apps. Only thing I downloaded from extras-devel is MSN Haze. Other than that, everything else is from Maemo Extras and Ovi Store. I'm assuming it's an app that is causing this problem yet I don't know which one.

You guys aren't experiencing that sim problem after flashing because maybe whatever app it was causing that problem is no longer on your phone. I don't know this is my assumption for now lol.
