How long you had your N900? because many weird and wonderful things can happen if the fw is not right, sounds to me like it only requires a flash and for that all you need to do is follow the flash instructions then all will be ok.
Follow the instructions in this link,

Your symptoms sound like it only needs the fw flashed and start over after that.
