Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

I don't want Nokia to be popular in the US, it's fine as it is, Unlocked phones are the way to go.

But obviously I want to have my Nokia with ATT 3G, T-Mobile has bad reception in my area.

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

Actually as far as i remember when there was first news about the n900 from mobile crunch i remember quim or someone official who actually laughed at the t.m.o being t-mobile.... so i am still doubtful about t-mobile USA getting this one.

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

I could see the n900 being the #2 phone in the market.

The n900 will have exchange integration, right? And it has a bigger keyboard, which might lure people using blackberries to a phone which has the basic things they need from the blackberries but can do nice multimedia stuff too. So I am wondering if it will take market share away from blackberries.

But it really needs to be on ATT.

@sarahn: you need BlackBerry Connect to lure the crackberries off what they're on (me included). The lock-in by Blackberry Messenger is quite strong.

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

The thing that made me think why T-Mobile 3G bands were used was that perhaps the N900 would be a UMA handset. As far as I know ATT does not offer this service. This would be a pretty neat feature for users who have not/cannot set up google voice type call forwarding to use VOIP.

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

Any news yet from NW09 about the N900 release date (and carrier) in the USA?

EDIT: and price? Subsidized? Not?

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

Why is Nokia making all tablet owners make a sudden change to a new carrier? That seems destructive. Atleast continue to let us bluetooth connect to our Nokia AT&T phones.
I mean you make three tablets which seemlessly connect to Nokias at&t phones leaving the maemo community to pretty much create the devices for you then suddenly you switch carriers? You force the people who made your maemo devices what they are today to enter new contracts? Seems destructive unless we can still bluetooth tether to our Nokia phones.

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

I hate to be a jackass... but I find some serious irony in an opensource phone isn't fully supported on all US Carriers.

Well, it just shows the state of affairs in the US carriers really... bleh.

Re: N900 and USA market (T-Mobile)
 

well, the software is open source, but the hardware decisions by nokia are what make a phone compatible with certain operators.
