i had the same problem not sim card recognised when i first got the phone i phoned vodafone and they said give a few days for sim card to activate "dont think this is your problem tho". After a reflash you will not recognise your sim card untill the system has been completly updated.

It has been a week now since I flashed my N900 with the vanilla firmware after that I have flashed it with the latest firmware. Haven't seen the 'no sim-card' symbol since.
Now i use the first global FW.
If i install the second global, the phone will not recognise my mass memory.
The first global is the only one that recognise my mass memory.
ive flashed even with vanilla emmc and then the last fw. Nothing.

I've finally and successfully flashed my firmware using Maemo Flasher. I used a computer with XP instead of Vista which was the culprit of it not working earlier.
I flashed my phone with the latest Global Firmware. I still have the "No Sim Problem" every few minutes or every hour or so. All I do is open and close the keyboard and the Sim Re-registers. I'm thinking maybe I should flash the eMMC as well using Vanilla?
I guess I'll try that next time when I'm at my friends house since he has the XP Computer.

Wow now I'm having that "No Sim" problem more than ever! Ever since I flashed to Global Firmware, this phone loves to display this "No Sim" everytime the keyboard is opened or closed! I guess flashing will not resolve.
How is Nokia Care handling this issue? Does anyone know? I wonder if they are repairing it by just flashing with the latest USA Firmware (which I know it won't fix the problem) or will they actually exchange my phone out for a new one?

hey people,
well i flashed my phone to latest global firmware, then i lost all the pre-loaded software like pictures and ringtones etc..
so then i flashed back to the latest UK firmware, and i now have the sim card unrecognised problem.
any ideas?
I dont want to go back to the global firmware, cus i quite like the themes and images that are pre loaded.!..
EDIT: installed all the firmware updates, latest was 92.7mb, and now everything is working, and even better than before.
phew!! good luck everyone.

Just did some testing to try to better understand what's wrong with some sim cards.
What I found is that, most likely, is not with the card itself but with cell towers or at least something not directly related to my N900.
I'm running attached script (which basically tries to read IMSI from inserted SIM), this way I can detect whenever a SIM reading error happens.
I did my test on:
1) H3G ITA, 3G connection, home network
2) TIM IT, 2.5G connection, roaming network
As far as I was able to see errors are more frequent while on my home network than when the on TIM. Here is a sample result:
I have the feeling that the issue is related to two specific towers close to my house. I'll be running same tests tomorrow on another location and I'll compare them.

Well, it looks like the error, in my case, is only triggered by two H3G ITA cells towers covering my house. I had no problems, both with H3G and TIM, until when I came back home right now. Strange.

simple script which can help you, at leat if you can roam to a different network while on 2G
just launch while in terminal. It will switch to 2G on SIM error. Connection will be moved back to "dual" after 3600 secs.
Have fun.
