flash to the right and newest firmware and everything is ok.
THATS IT
My SIM-card in the N900 stopped working out of the blue with PR1.2 Before then it had worked for 3 months and in this time I never flashed the device. Flashing was not the cause of the problem, because I never flashed when it stopped working.

(Edit: btw, the problem seems to be started at the same time when phone noticed there would be maemo upgrade available, 2010-10-27. I didn't allow it to upgrade OTA then.)

I even waited two weeks by not upgrading to PR1.3 just to see if there would be new bug to be found from my non working system.
The SIM card worked still fine with N95, but I still got a new SIM-card from an operator. This new SIM card didn't work either with N900, but works in N95. I've tried two other SIM-cards from different network operators, and they work fine, so device's hardware seem not to be broken.

Upgrading to PR1.3 (flashed both rootfs and eMMC) didn't fix the problem.
