i think i got it!
i just had a strange thought about the PR 1.2 SMS auto-sending and COST:
what if they are trying something like a "hacker tax" ?
that means every time one of us flashes the N900 with god knows what operating system and then reverts to PR 1.2 he *MUST* pay a 'little' fee of 0.15 or 0.30 or anyhow SOMETHING, depending of country, operator, etc. to use the original OS again
everybody knows that the N900 is mostly used by developers, hackers, etc. linux 'geeks' and they flash and reflash alot
heck i flashed 3 times by now and i dont know squat about any of the above
think about the total revenue of this 'tax', even if its split with the operator, there isnt just 1(one) SMS per user...
what do you think?

If that is the case, then it's super cheap.

No way that is true, they just need more data from their device distribution: Where is it sold, when is it activated, etc. SMS is nearly 100% available for all of their customers, unlike internet.

On the contrary I totally agree with Nokia about sending private data in some database. I think that who has nothing to hide, has nothing to complain.
I would have preferred that a copy of the sms could be sent to police, army, fbi and cia too to check everithing about the owner of the phone.
