But that means potentially 18 months of random no-sim icon, disconnections and ignored calls. Also, because i'm still within 7 days of purchase via mail, I think i can at least ask for an exchange for another N900. But should I go to that trouble, or just stick with it? Is this fixable with software? I'm not sure what step to take, the clock's ticking for me and any help is greatly appreciated!
You could try reflashing it - do both the eMMC and the firmware (this will wipe everything, so make sure you backup everything first). If that doesn't help, I'd get it exchanged.
