Did you see my link? Tried it, didn't work

I will try peterleinchen's solution when I find the time.

@pichlo: yeah, making it more rigid might help (but not too thick). afaik all those sim iterations differ only in physical cutout (otoh, maybe that sim is paired to imei by the provider? try any other phone?)

Not only is the SIM not locked, it originally came with the N900

I had to cut it out to fit the Jolla and now it does not fit back

Had three, two had USB problems, one was the most difficult return back of any electronic device I've ever encountered.

Had 1 -> got brocken -> got 2 defective in order to reassemble 2 working but 1 one was too damaged. Left one working which got defective too.
So i have 2 with loose gsm chip and 1 ripped apart currently.
Sadly the prices for n900 seem to rise again. So i decided to get some n900 related tools too fix the n900 forever

and have some fun.

I do own 4 N900's. Two of the four are no good for daily use and the other two in used as my main and backup devices. It's pretty hard to find a N900 replacement now days. I like to have multitasking, command line interface and no kind of advertisement on my cellphone.

I have two units sloshing around in bodybags,
but the other is still my main number one telephone.
(I have a BQ E5 HD Ubuntu thang,
but it is little more than a Canonically-refscked paperweight)

I've had 2 so far,my very first one was stolen then I bought another one, and at the time of posting I've ordered another one, the current one I own, I really wish I could get working again, the SD ribbon cable somehow ripped, and I dunno how to fix it, and I need a replacement screwset but the screws are hard and far in between to find, anyone with scavenged N900's willing to send or sell me a screwset or 2? I'd really love to have 2 working so I can communicate with the other and do some multiplayer gaming/sharing and because the USB port came off, I can't link up to my computer to save the data on it. Thanks in advance.

Two.

One mildly scratched one I got for cheap, which touchdisplay I changed, for everyday usage.

And another one in perfect condition, with all the accessories, which house I might use for a Neo900...I'm still undecided whether I need one or not...
