ok friend, is that here in Brazil the cost of connections is very expensive, and I have a prepaid SIM card that has a promotion for web access to fixed price (approx. 0.85 cents per 24 hours) which is only activated by menu GSM carrier. So much need of this shortcut.

Here is the brainstorm link http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/sim_toolkit/

Just read that Maemo 5 will be releasing its new uprgrade today in the UK and tommorow to the rest of the world. Follow it here:

Sim services are very crucial here in my country (Kenya) where banking has grown to using operator services among other functions. The N900 is such an amazing phone that this inability to access sim services almost takes it back to the dark ages (no pan intended). With its amazing abilities its the least Nokia could have done for us. And that was the reason I was looking forward to the latest Maemo Version 1.2 hoping to find it included. Well it didn't happen this time round and all of us have to wait another couple of months for this inclusion.

How sad.
