Smartphone doesn't work without SIM!?
So my SE P900 arrives this morning, overnight delivery. Thank you, SE Java Developer Group.
However, I power it up and discover that it won't do anything other than demo mode without a SIM. What's up with that?
Why disable the PDA functions if a SIM isn't in the device? What happens if I fry my SIM while abroad?
AT&T gave me a free spare SIM, but I don't understand the rational behind the feature lockout.
