Wow. First, my N900 only sucked at making calls. Dropped calls, connection errors, mistakenly rejected calls, and missed calls that did not even ring. Now, I have the Nokia Messaging password problem. At least my "mobile computer" used to be good at messaging and texting. Well, that was too much to ask of it. Can't express how sorely disappointed I am with the extremely poor software on what is obviously great hardware. Talk about a waste of potential. My brother bought an N900 at the same time I did, and he has even more problems than I do. He's gone back to using his 6820, which functions infinitely better than the N900 as a phone.

Anyway - unless I missed it, there is no way to correct this bug (bar completely resetting the device?), right? I have already voted for the bug: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10566 Not holding my breath on a fix or firmware update, though.
