Were we expecting AT&T 3G compatibility even in the U.S. version given the FCC details? Tmo uses different frequencies in their 3G and thus unless it's specifically including those freqs we're all relegated to Tmo here in the states for the time being. AFAIK 2100mhz is also a Tmo-capable band if 3G connectivity is a dealbreaker, granted Tmo's coverage is a far cry from AT&T's, as is being discussed in another thread.

If you want the best experience possible, you'd probably use wifi. 3G would be preferred when wifi isn't available but for basic use EDGE will suffice for a lot of things. (not ilarge downloads in an instant) I think if the U.S. doesn't get a release date within a reasonable timeframe of the other side of the pond some here may still choose to obtain a non-U.S. model early on and sell it later when a native U.S. version does become available.

I'm not one to do this, but I can expect others will.
