I bought a brand new n900 on ebay last week. It was sold as Vodafone locked. Being a Linux hack I wanted a real OS underneath the hood and so I got rid of my crappy Vodafone Blackberry Storm.

But anyway, I have two sims. One is a Vodafone sim and another is a Virgin sim. Both work perfectly in the n900. There are no vodafone splash screens or special Vodafone Live apps/widgest like those found on the Blackberry. The only way you would no its anyway related to Vodafone in use is that it says Vodafone UK in the status bar. It said that even though my Virgin sim was connected to T Mobile.

But this n900 is fantastic. As an old timer Unix hack its hard to believe this little beauty's OS started out from a 6 foot PDP 11.

Very impressed.
