Dunno about the SIM card reading problem, but patches that improve
2007.2’s handling of numbers with dashes are available at 
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1606

Although I’m not sure if I will do the work to make these patches
acceptable for inclusion (currently, they were rejected with comments),
as 2007.2 is a developer’s dead end, and the SHR changes the programs
too much to just merge these patches. But I use the patches and if you
can build your own openmoko image/ipk’s, then you can use them as well.

Greetings,
Joachim
