I think this was a good thing that Nokia didn't compromise their product to the carrier. Looking at the crippled carrier Android phones, e.g. wifi hotspot is disabled, I'm glad I can use my N900 on T-Mobile US with US$10 unlimtied data plan because they don't sell it and don't force it to use smartphone data plan. Same when I have US$15 unlimited data and no function crippled when using N95 on AT&T.
