Moreover, it appears in my screen like this" Unable to receive or send messages, Device storage full. Remove data to free memory". Although I restart my N900 many times, but could not fix this problem at all. Pls show me how to fix this.

Open a konsole, and tell us the output of this command

df -h

is an application in the application list called "x terminal"

you can open it by using the shortcut too: in the hardware keyboard, push ctrl+shift+x.

what im telling you, anyway, is that you can try denstalling some programs, and then your phone could unlock itself, because can be full in the application storage partition

to be sure, show is your "df -h" output. that will tell us if your phone has something wrong in the data storage structure

this is what i see in my XTerminal:
BusyBox vl.20.3 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-losso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

To be honest, i dont undertand it at all

Do you have an application from the OVI store installed called WiKI HOW or somesuch?

If so, remove it and enjoy your new space and never, ever install that POS again.
