My new N8 has since I set my sim-card in had a blinking message on the start page. The message says: SIM-memory full or actually in danish: SIM-hukommelse fuld. The message is shown after an envelope, but it can't be opened and it there's no sms or mail to open or delete.

When I connect the device to my computer I can see/it shows that there's a lot of free space on the SIM. 

Restarting the device hasn't helped.

Any ideas ?

It's extremely annoying with this constant blinking.

Flashing envelope could be caused by

1. You may just have an unread SMS from your last phone that is still saved on your SIM card. To check, goto Messaging>Options>SIM messages.

2. SIM card's message memory is full. Delete messages from the SIM card. Goto Messaging>Options>SIM messages

3. Phones messaging memory is full. Try deleting messages, also checking in, Sent and drafts.

4. Even though all your messages may be marked as read, just going down through the list and opening them all again one by one have also been known to resolve this issue. This could take some time but is worth a try if you do not want to delete any messages.

What do I do if I don't want to delete my SIM messages to get rid of the flashing envelop? There is enough space on the device itself.
