Quick answer for you. I just got a text from my Nokia saying new software is available. Just reply stop and no more texts other than the one confirming you wont be getting anymore. Just did it on my Nexus One with tmobile USA. Hope this helps.,

Two points:

1.: it's not fair sending a sms from a user's device without notifying him about that. I think, they could have collected the data as well in another place and send it the next time the users goes online. In any way they should first inform the user and afterwards collecting or sending anything home.

I installed PR1.2 via flashtool because OTA didn't work (and I even didn#t get any message why it didn't work so I just used the flasher). I never saw any question about that stuff and wondered why the hell they sent me an sms. Where did they get my number?

2. In the second sms, which arrived today (I flashed yesterday), they told me, there'd be a new update for my phone. The sms pointed me to www.nokia.de/softwareupdate. I opend this site in a browser and what did I see? Newest update is 2.2009.51.1.
What do they want from me?

Well, I actually don't mind them sending me a sms. I guess they won't sell the numbers or start sending ads.

But I really do mind if they make MY phone send THEM a sms without asking ME! It's not the fact that I get charged for the sms but it's a matter of privacy (YES IT IS!) and it shows how they are beginning to handle their customers.

If they want to do something good to me, they can ask if I really want it. But they never did.

After I have reflashed my n900 to PR1.2, n900 has sent an SMS to Nokia. This is a privacy violation. I do not remember agreeing to that and I do not want Nokia to be informed every time I upgrade my firmware, specifically if I have to pay for that. Is there any way to disable this feature?

Choosing this option actually sends an SMS to Nokia.
Will it prevent sending anything to Nokia after the next reflash?
