I bought N9 locked to Orange operator (we call it actually "simlock" in Poland).
Compose #pw+CODE+1#.

This ultimate guide http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 doesn't recommend changing the product code...
Assuming that it's possible to flash phone with other product code, what future consequences will it have?
Rainisto mentioned something about AT commands, maybe I'll check this. Is it possible to perform call from console level using any other way, for instance dbus?

Hey guys, sorry for this thread but I'm very desperate. After having N900 for a couple of months, I've never thought that my first thread on this forum will be about such stupid thing.
I just bought my brand new black N9 with Harmattan 1.2. Of course I used something like Polish version of eBay (called allegro and way more popular than eBay.pl).
To save a couple of bucks, I bought N9 locked to Orange operator (we call it actually "simlock" in Poland). Auction said that for additional 30$ I could buy magical unlock code from Orange. Your guesses are right, I bought additional code. I forgot to add, that my current SIM is not from Orange...
After getting back home I powered my N9 for the very first time (quick peek into gallery showed that seller was actually playing with my phone). Of course phone was powered without any SIM card. Then I began unlocking process. Unlock code written on some scrap of paper, instructions taken from following location:
http://www.nokian9specs.com/1797/unl..._nokia_n9.html
Everything was going just fine until I tried to enter "w" character.
A couple of google searches later I even found this:

Seems that someone else is having similar issue.
This topic:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f608...-code-1441260/
mentions SendCodeUsb.exe, but I've found on other forum that it isn't working.
So, since Harmattan bugzilla is closed what can I do?
I've got some experience with flasher tool but I'm afraid that flashing my N9 with some image won't solve my issue.
Is there any other way to actually enter this stupid code?
Maybe entering this code from console level would help?
Again, I'm very sorry for such stupid thread, but I've had my previous phone for 6 years (Motorola E770v) and I really waited for my N9.
Please help...

Afaik its just enough that you enter CODE on the dialog when it regognizes different operator sim, you dont have to enter #pw, just the code part.
And yes, there is dbus API, but it should be enough just to put your sim in and enter unlock code.

Solution:
1. Buy locked operator prepaid and insert it into the device (*).
2. Power on phone.
3. In new message view enter full unlock code (#pw+CODE+1#) as a normal string.
4. Copy the full code to clipboard.
5. Create dummy contact and paste the clipboard in number field.
6. Call dummy contact (**).
7. Hot swap locked SIM card to your beloved one (***).
8. Pray.
* - There is a chance that it will work without any SIM inserted, I didn't check.
** - I called this contact about three times because there was no notification about unlocking the phone. During the dialing I received the message that call failed and completely nothing else (don't expect any notification near status bar).
*** - I don't remember if I rebooted the device before this step. I would recommend doing it so.
Additional notes:
-My N9 was locked to Orange operator.
-Try at your own risk - don't blame me if you lose your code definitely and phone will be still locked to operator.
