Once I get the phone on our cel plan, I'll be "in the system" and can submit support requests to the ovi store, so I'm not too worried about that problem.

LOL well I turned on developer mode and after it rebooted, despite saying "SIM card is not provisioned MM#2", it now downloads stuff from the ovi app store! :-D It responds to ssh although I have to figure out credentials, but no biggie. Check out top running on my phone!! LOL:

I can not say I have experienced your Wifi security issues, I can say I have noticed my N9 can not see or connect to my router (Asus RT-N56U) if it is broadcasting on any channel higher than 11 on 2.4ghz. I have tried channels 12 + 13 to reduce interference (I live in a large apartment complex), my Apple TV and laptop will connect but my N9 will not

Tibere86, well you could turn your apartment into a big Tempest Room, but your friends might think you were odd for having aluminum foil all over your walls. :-)
Based on my experience described above, you might check your router and see if it is auto-selecting the encryption sheme, and if so, you might set it to WPA2-only. From my experience, I have the impression that the N9 may not happily be able to deal with the way these WAPs negotiate the encryption scheme, that is, in my case, the problem wasn't reception or signal strength (which was my first guess) but rather a communications protocol problem. Maybe your N9 is having the same problem.
It might not help you, but it's worth a little poking around and experimenting with. :-) Hope you get it worked out!
