1. IMEI is a property of the baseband modem (chipset) and gets assigned by the manufacturer of the modem module - we will accept the IMEIs Gemalto assigns to their modules. [edit] ooops, I misread a typo? N900?
2. probably no. Some old modems allowed change of IMEI via firmware flashing or via special secret command. AFAIK contemporary modules/chipsets have IMEI in write-once fuse PROM so it is physically protected against any changes, once it got engraved (literally, see http://neo900.org/news-0005-phase-i-...-ohsw-showcase "351501 05 0134677") into the hardware
