That's a very good question, and it concerns me too (for future buyers).

You should make sure no SIM is inserted, boot it without the SIM, then check the last paragraph in http://wiki.maemo.org/PR1.2_compulso...#Manual_method to clear out the pending SMS.

This won't help if your carrier or shop you buy the N900 from "helpfully" inserts the SIM for you and boots it before giving it to you, and of course doesn't help new purchasers who haven't read about this problem before buying.
