Every GSM phone that is sold where I live does have access to the SIM card menu. That is a given thing, maybe wrongly taken for granted.

The problem, really, is more about having no support, no perspective of support and nothing official from Nokia about it. On top of everything, seeing only the growing of the marketing campaign, still pithcing it as a GSM compatible phone. They could at least place a disclaimer, explaining that SIm card applications were not supported.
