.. and now it doesn't recognize the SIM card. Any SIM card! The SIM cards are fine, I reflashed, same thing... Is it dead??? Can't believe this....
You need to update to 51-1 before the SIM card will be recognised. If you've got WLAN configured then you should be able to do it via that.

The alternative, as biggzy says, is to flash with the global firmware (nobody seems to know what the difference between the firmware versions is). You could also grab the 51-1 firmware from http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_UK_variant_firmware - this is externally hosted though, so you're taking a chance that it actually is the UK 51-1 firmware.
