*** Bug 5381 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***Just wondering, is it general policy to mark bugs as resolved+fixed even though the fix is not available? That may be the policy in some closed source commercial environments (not all), but it doesn't reflect the workflow seen by users reporting bugs on bugs.maemo.org. Whatever the general policy, perhaps there should be another step in the status of bugs on bugs.maemo.org, marking the transition from fixed to released? FIXED (not RESOLVED because it's not the final step) -> RELEASED + RESOLVED If someone would be kind enough to say if this is the general policy, I'll create a new bug suggesting this workflow change. However, if it's just a one-off for this particular bug #5315, there's no point doing that. Thanks.I'd just like to confirm that I'm using a 3 SIM in the UK since PR1.1 was released, and it's been working perfectly for everything so far. The GPRS data setting worked automatically - which is better than both other SIMs I used (Vodafone and Giffgaff), both of which got the wrong GPRS setting after inserting them, and needed to be manually changed before they worked. On that basis, I'd say the 3 SIM support is better than Vodafone and Giffgaff now :-) But they all work in the end. I say perfect. There is one issue, I'll mention because I don't know if it has anything to do with network settings read from the SIM, other network settings picked up as a result, or neither of those. There is a tendancy, in poor reception areas, to jump every few minutes between a 3G signal which is too poor to use (can't maintain voice calls or one end can't hear anything, can't use data) and a 2G signal which is perfectly good and can do voice and data well - even when stationary. That might be 3's network, or it might be the N900 having it's threshold for acceptable 3G signal set too low. It is something other Nokia handsets do with 3 UK, I've noticed. I've not noticed it as severely with other networks, nor with non-Nokia handsets on 3, so perhaps the algorithm and/or thresholds used by Nokia for this could be improved. (Just fyi, this is in an area (Oxford, UK) where 3 themselves say the signal quality is "very good" but is, in reality, extremely variable (6 to 0 bars 3G) over distances of a few metres.) It also suprisingly has problems getting a data connection sometimes ("No cellular data available") with 5 bars on 3G. I doubt if that's a SIM issue.
