It ultimately depends on how desirable the N900 is. If everyone wants an N900, at least one network will crumble and carry it without customisation, and if they do well then the others will feel pressure to follow suit.

If people don't want an N900 then the networks will feel no pressure to stock them.

Ultimately it's up to Nokia and Maemo fans to get the word out that this is something special.
