incase you're interested its quite easy to setup, i just did the install using ddosbox on my laptop then copied the windows directory to the n900 in the directory i mount as c: in dosbox.

could in theory do the same with win95 but i cant try it cos i dont have a working set of the install files. hmmm but im sure i have a win98 cd somewhere haha.

As far as i am aware, No N900's are locked or branded in any way at the moment.

I got my Vodafone N900 from MPD. and it is technically the phone with a sim contract put in the box

No branding apart from the usual telling you what service you are connected too - and i've changed that on mine, so no Vodafone anywhere

Quick question!

I ordered my N900 on Saturday and it is due to come Tuesday (all being well), so shipped today.

I have got an email saying it has been despatched, however it says this under new number/imei etc -

$$$SMARTLIFT_PARAM_MOBILE_NUMBER$$$

Has anyone else had that, and if so has it all been ok? I assume their system is just bugged and/or it doesn't apply unless your number has been ported etc. (My number isn't being ported)

Yeah I have often seen things like this before, its most likely an error with the database that means the field for the new number has not been filled in properly, or at all. Its likely though that the Sim contract box-thing is sealed and they can't see the number or phone information, so don't fill it in.

Roll on tomorrow!
