as far as I can tell from looking at logs on my N900 it is somehow related to the modem hardware resetting. No clue about the cause behind this behaviour.
In my case I found that the reset was more frequent if connected to some specific celltowers.

@maddler
so there is a possibility that the cause is from my service provider?

@gabby
it's just a conjecture, but I'd say that the bug is being triggered (more frequently) under certain circumstances (e.g. a specific celltower). I wouldn't say the bug is caused by your service provider.

Ok i have solved this problem.
One the second or third day of having my n900 i dropped it and have had the infamous no sim error on and off since.
After trying everything a few humble squares of thin magazine cover have solved my problem.
By placing cut squares of paper between the sim and battery and battery and back case the problem has been resolved.
I know this sounds stupid but without the paper cut outs the sim error returns.
My phone would often not start and would continue in a boot cycle this has also been fixed.
just keep adding slices of paper until problem solved. I hope this helps others as much as it helped me.
I used a clothing tag instead of magazine paper (for its thickness is as big as the sim card itself), and cut out a similar rectangular shape small enough to fit into the outter groove of the sim card slot, in order to seperate physical contact between the battery and the sim. I am unsure if the true cause resides between this contact between sim and battery theory, but 6 hours from this post has passed since after more than 8 hours of downtime from the Sim Card error.
I will continue observing whether this temp. solution will suffice in the meanwhile and post updates soon.

Up until the last I posted, the temporary method of cutting out some sort of paper shaped sim has been working. I haven't had that unrecognized sim icon whatsoever since my last post. I have however received no internet connection a few times probably due to the local area I happened to be in.

FYI, I was having this issue the past couple days. It worked fine for months. Then, the sim card detection started flaking on me, then went out completely. No amount of cleaning the SIM, bending the pins, or compressing the sim card with slips of paper helped.
I went to my carrier store (T-Mobile US), and got a fresh SIM card in order to troubleshoot this issue. The new SIM worked just fine. No clue why the old one stopped working, but too lazy to diagnose further.
