This is the second item I see people complaining it's missing... and I've never used such a thing.

"SIM Menu"? ... I mean.. sure I've saved contacts to a SIM before... but.. never heard of a "menu?"

So obviously... Nokia is targeting me. If I could only afford the damned thing..

well .... idk what your point is ... I expect a computer to compute and a phone to make calls???

And a cellphone to make calls from anywhere in the world and fit in my pocket?

I would have to say the Nokia N900 is at least a phone if not a Cellphone...or dare I call it a smart phone????

Every GSM phone that is sold where I live does have access to the SIM card menu. That is a given thing, maybe wrongly taken for granted.

The problem, really, is more about having no support, no perspective of support and nothing official from Nokia about it. On top of everything, seeing only the growing of the marketing campaign, still pithcing it as a GSM compatible phone. They could at least place a disclaimer, explaining that SIm card applications were not supported.

I agree though that it is an important feature in a phone. I guess nobody realized it was missing at the time you bought your n900. But at least now future N900 buyers can come across this thread and not make the same mistake you did. And hopefully ill come out in the next update (March i think)

Telecom services management; managing credits for voice, data plans SMS; banking (a lot of banks require you to access from the SIM card menu); purchasing or changing plans; filing support and services request; purchasing additional connectivity options; changing network configurations; consulting network options and other stuff like that.

not to get off topic but how is technology far more ahead to use SIM cards to store contacts? Easily switch phones without having to re-enter contacts, what other technology do we have that does that? Saving it to the memory card does not always work because not all phone use the same format of contacts or even the memory card. Sending contacts over Bluetooth would take forever. SIM contacts on a phone is something that is universally available and I dont think there is any technology that came do the same.
