It's been a topic since very first N900s shipped, at least for those who want more from their cellphone than just simple placing and receiving calls: Service Codes and USSD.

While USSD (e.g. "*100#") has been fixed in genuine dialer with PR1.2, the Service Codes (e.g. "*#67#" : query if calls are redirected when busy) still don't work out `of the box' with most recent firmware, and not even with tools like USSD-widget.

starhash-enabler is a hack installing a 0 byte "application" and configuring the dialer so it will work with most if not all Service Codes. So you finally can do all the fancy stuff like mentioned there:

http://www.stereo.org.ua/2007/gsm-codes/ (English)
http://www.arib.or.jp/IMT-2000/V730J.../22030-340.pdf (the 3GPP specs)
- at least those that your carrier allows :-)
Also you'll not need any more USSD-xxxx application to do this, you can use the standard dialer as you'd expect from any other phone
