The fact that your SIM works well in 2G with an N95 and an E72 means very little, because your provider can retrieve your phone model and adjust your personal settings according to how your dataplan or mobile plan works.

Please contact your mobile provider and directly ask it this question, now I'm curious too. By the way, the fact that a call-center guy says that it's not provider's fault doesn't mean that is not provider's fault... So this could be an endless problem.

And yes, I always read all the thread before posting and giving suggestions.
I was just finding common symptons since the last N900 never took this long to load the phone settings.

But here are the facts so far:

- My SIM works in 2G mode with N95 and E72.
- My operator Elisa Finland has no such functionality that they could block 2G mode based on the phone model or SIM.
- My SIM worked with the previous N900 in 2G mode fine (4 weeks ago)
- Tested this current N900 with another SIM from a different operator (Telia Sonera Finland) and still the 2G mode is not working.

So I think it's pretty safe to say that the problem is in this phone, right?

I'm still thinking that since this on not a phone mean't for the Finnish market (since the FM- transmitter was disabled) there could also be a similar thing with the 2G- mode...
