Just a thought... if it's possible to have an application that suppresses the text message: Would it be possible to write an application that will only change the list of phone numbers used?

You know... I don't mind Nokia knowing whenever I need to re-flash PR 1.2; but maybe I want to choose who at Nokia gets the notification?

These statements from Nokia about how the device is more of a computer than a phone as an excuse for why it should register by SMS, also seems like an irrelevant answer to a question that was never asked. The fundamental question is still: Why are you doing that?

I'm increasingly glad I never bought an N900.

If it's more of a computer than a phone, then it could use tcp/ip and email or rss instead of sms ...

I want one that modifies the SMS and changes MY phone number. They can have the rest.

Does anyone know if N900's bought after the release of PR1.2 is shipped with 1.2, and in that case, should I have to take precautions before even switching it on for the first time?

That's a very good question, and it concerns me too (for future buyers).

You should make sure no SIM is inserted, boot it without the SIM, then check the last paragraph in http://wiki.maemo.org/PR1.2_compulso...#Manual_method to clear out the pending SMS.

This won't help if your carrier or shop you buy the N900 from "helpfully" inserts the SIM for you and boots it before giving it to you, and of course doesn't help new purchasers who haven't read about this problem before buying.

Thanx!
I'm buying it without any carrier so no one should have inserted anything.
