Some time ago I read on this same list that the N900 had some problems when no SIM card was inserted but I can't find that mail. Is this problem still true? Is there a fix planned?

You mean that there is no data transfer when checking the position?

Does the SIM card need to be activated? I think I still have one I bought in my last travel to Argentina, but I don't think it will be recognized in France. :( And I find it quite expensive to pay 18 euros/month just to avoid this bug. > phone, then swap the SIM card with the N900. Bingo, you have a sim > card on your N900. I see that there are some ways to work around this problem, but wouldn't it be easier if it just worked correctly from the beginning. I understand that it is the FCC that Nokia cares about, but I don't live in the USA, so why should I (and the rest of the world) be constrained by their laws?
