I'm running O2 so the wonderful speed will be crippled anytime I'm near London due to iPhone saturation. Orange users will get this soon as they are now running iPhone too.

I beleive that the problem with some of the newer 3 simm cards was that Hutchinson were using a feature that none of the others were hence why only an issue for them at present. I suspect this will need to be fixed for the other networks later though.

Not exactly a lot of space to hide them in though!

I have a UK 3 SIM card (& a T Mobile SIM card), I shall check how well (if at all) the 3 SIM card works in the device & let you/anyone else interested know if there were any problems etc.

However, in the meantime, you may also want to see this link (if you haven't done so already)...

EDIT: Also see thread 'Important UK issue - N900 doesn't work on 3 mobile'

I'm ashamed to admit I could market those quite easily. Might make a decent 'discount' for my device.

(No, I don't, but I know a lot of people who do

)

A long as it hasn't picked up any Dutch Young Ladies. I ain't giving free B&B to stowaways.

Edit should I take it as a good omen that EastEnders has just played the nokia tune?

I don't mind doing a 4 hours round trip to the Midlands if I could pick it up at the sorting centre tonight...

Perhaps use the poorly working Ovi maps on the way back and hope I won't get lost.

Thanks. I'm aware of the bug. Just wondered how Nokia acted in the UK, if they shipped the devices w/o the bugfix installed regardless of what operator you have. I take it the answer is yes.

Someone must do some investigating into what time ups land there
