The new version worked flawlessly. I did a full purge and removed all setting files to test it.

Nope, I'm in Norway. I think it could have something to with the DBus as I had the exact same problem when I was trying to create an application in Qt which listened for incoming SMS messages using Qt Mobility. Asking in the Nokia Forums didn't result in any replies on the issue.

The strange thing, though, is that I flashed the device yesterday. So if DBus is the case, I must have reinstalled an application or reverted some config files which have messed up DBus again.

I would really like to help debugging this. It annoys me that I can't figure out what's wrong and I don't know where to look. And I would love to have SMSCON up and running
