that thing tries it sneaky stuff only, when there's no file
/home/user/.cherry_state

thus, one could either create that file

touch /home/user/.cherry_state

or disable/remove the script
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry

Just to be clear about this, does anyone know if creating (e.g. using "touch" as arne.anka suggests) the /home/user/.cherry_state file will or will not be sufficient to stop the SMS being sent, as gwj suggests that the presence of that file did not stop the SMS being sent in his case?

don't know, what gwj did (maybe inserting a sim at all was wrong), but i never saw anything of that sms and my provider does not list any sms sent to an unknown number.

Can someone point me as to how I can download the cherry package? I've found http://maemo.org/packages/view/cherry/ and the links off it, but can't seem to actually download it from there.

It's closed source (as usual), only to be found in the SSU repositories. One way of getting it would be reinstalling it (apt-get install --reinstall cherry) and taking the deb from /var/cache/apt/archives afterwards.

Is this messaging anything like operator sending me few SMS messages when I upgrade or return to factory settings on any phone.. usually a welcome message and some settings for my phone.

with standard apt,

would only download it to /var/cache/apt/archives

"install" on its own refuses to do anything here because cherry is already installed and when I do specify "-d" with "--reinstall", it still reinstalls it :\

No, those messages are special system messages containing settings for SMS or MMS and get automatically used ('installed') by the phone. Nokia instead is making your phone first sending them a standard SMS and then sends you SMSs with 'important' messages.

This sim card is expired for outgoing calls, but still valid for accepting calls. After I have replaced it with my regular sim, at the boot up I did get a dialog about setting the time, but no OVI dialog.

I haven't upgraded to PR1.2 yet, so I was hoping to just wget the package from another machine, if someone can work out the URL...
