hmm...
well...
first thing is to confirm...

you did make sure to use the latest and correct firmware version for your n900's ...right?

and you did flash them correctly with no issues in the flashing procedure...
...right?

Those are the very 1st 2 issues that are the beginning of most common problems...

If flashing was done correctly and with the proper firmware version...
then...
the issues are not with proper installation...
Flashing essentially erases the device to start fresh...
meaning the problems that the previous user did to them ...should be nullified.
I say "should"...
since it is possible that the previous owners damaged them in ways that most aware NIT users would not consider to do...

as far as "Unable to use this SIM card in device"...
Personally I have never run into that specific output statement before...
telephony issues ...yes...
telephony disabled issues ...etc...yes....

But if the self same sim was put into the 2nd N900 and it worked ...
then there is definitely an issue with the 1st and one I have not encountered yet...

possibly another n900 user here has had this issue ...and will comment.

and the 2nd device has no internal storage??
is that what you meant?

Hm...
If you flashed both correctly....

I see why your friend put them in a drawer ....
and forgot about them...
and then gave them to you...


I would imagine that enough parties throwing their experience at the 2 issues on the n900's will give an answer that will help...

Gotta think about this for a bit...

(hahahaha...just saw a user here...must not come around often...or I would remember that name..."Feedme" ...great username... )
