If you don't know, ask.
SIM application toolkit is mandatory for ME, as described in GSM REF 11.14.

what are we missing by not having access to sim card menus??
I think the last time I navigated the menus in a sim was when i had the Sony z5 (damm i miss that phone)
Im on Vodafone UK, what am i missing out on then??

Okay on a serious note let me give you a usercase to show how bad the phone element can be. In Nigeria there are no free call or text contract packages. You just buy top up, load it on your phone and you are good to go. You dial * then your pin number and then # at the end.
Well I went there for three weeks. I bought credit scratched the card typed in what I need to load the credit and find out that the N900 can't load the credit. So what do I have to do for those three weeks:
I have to switch off my phone and take out my battery, then remove my sim card. I then have to ask someone else to do the same on their phone. I then put my sim card into their phone, replace the battery and then switch on the phone. Then I top up. Then I switch off the phone, take out the battery, take out the sim card and hand over the phone to the kind fellow that let me use his phone. I then put my sim card back in my N900, replace my sim and put on the phone.
Thanks Nokia.

Its been 3 months since I got the n900 and in my opinion, its really a half baked product - I just tried taking a video and the OS just slowed to a crawl not to talk of audio that stutters like crazy; even my cheap sony phone is better at audio than this brick. Only Nokia can get away with launching such a beta product but for how long?. I only got it because of the philosophy of openness behind it so no regrets. Dont buy a Nokia phone if you want an out of box experience - try Sony, Apple or even HTC for that.
