1. flash moko10 as recommended below - fixes problems with some incompatible SIMs. On my Vodafone 128K, made a huge difference to the PIN dialog popping up - not 100% fixed, but made a difference between 1 in 10, to 1 in 2.
2. try logging in and run "logread" - if you see "ATCHAT: ATF modem ready" (something like that anyway) continually being repeated. Restart X (/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm reboot) - give it up to 10 goes or so (then try 3 below). On my phone (even with moko10) it appears to be unresponsive to the first reset/commands and just starts repeating the above message to the log. Restarting X gets it to try again. It doesnt do it if you leave it to its own devices. 3. Shut down, remove battery for a few seconds. Replace battery, reboot, go to 2 above if neccesary. 4. Remove any SD card (esp if over 4gb) and retry. 5. Use another phone and set a PIN on the SIM if not set and try again (at least one software version wouldnt work if PIN wasnt set :( 6. Reboot, wait for a few minutes (5?) where nothing is happening and run "logread > logread-<current-date>.txt" and post logread-<current-date>.txt here for comment. 7. Try 2008.testing in combination with moko10 8. file a bug - I would think it most unlikely its a hardware problem (other than the known one of incompatible SIMs) - its probably down to the software.
