I hadn't even considered when I installed 1.2 that an SMS would be sent.
Seriously unhappy, even more than I was already. That is the simple reason I didn't go for android was the trickling of information BACK to some corporation. Now Nokia are doing it anyway.
What like this forum and their handling of everything from the OVI store, Maemo and N900 isn't enough bad publicity. Nearly all Maemo things in google hit back to this forum, nearly all this forum is abuse at Nokia. I would like to see really bad publicity and what makes Nokia actually take action to rectify.

It would be interesting to see exactly what the SMS texts contain, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve that. Maybe we could hack the numbers stored in the cherry binary to a phone number of another phone.

The related bug report seems to indicate that the "subscribe" button being greyed out doesn't indicate that you are already subscribed. This could very well be the reason the unsubscribe button doesn't work.
For Tmobile USA customers, you can have mynokia blacklisted by calling into customer care as well. Actually, if you don't use any of the web2go services, you can sign up for content blocking at my.tmobile.com >> plans and services or by calling cutsomer care as well.

Strangely, that same wget command doesn't seem to work on my Ubuntu box, only from the N900.
Did you use a normal Linux or did you try to download from within the maemo ide? Might be the server checks somehow from which system you are connecting.
I'm just downloading the file too from my n900 with the UA string set to 'wget'.
Works
an empty string works too. They might check something different.

They seem to be base64 encoded. I will report back soon with my findings.

I did a firmware and emmc flash.
Was never asked to subscribe. Looking at the option in settings, looks like I am subscribed.
It doesn't bother me at all. They probably just want to know how many people are actually using pr 1.2, upgraded, etc.
I still have yet to get any tips though.

I just went through the license and terms (in finnish) and it reads roughly translated that "This announcement is not valid and welcome screen WILL NOT open on first run and NO sms is sent if the service is not available at your country, in your version of software or in chosen language."
So most likely you who didn't get the welcome announcement or don't have subscribe active won't be able to unsubscribe either - you haven't been subscribed at all in the first place? I can re subscribe even though I already did.

I don't really know enough about deb packaging, but would it theoretically be possible to create a .deb that overwrote or deleted /etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry, /usr/bin/cherry, libcpcherry.so (the hildon-control-panel plugin) etc? I guess maemo.org Extras won't host it, but it could be hosted elsewhere.
My aim is to find the most user-friendly way for people to avoid this.

Anyway, of course the main cherry binary is closed source, but I now see the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry script that arne mentioned, which for the record contains:
Note that there is also a script called /etc/osso-cud-scripts/cherry-clean.sh which deletes the /home/user/.cherry_state file:
I found the changelog mildly interesting, as you get to read a little about how the app developed over time. It contains:
