For those that can't bother doing such a thing or wouldn't bother flashing their device... WHO CARES!! they probably are too tech illiterate or too lazy to use the device to its fullest, and will probably just use it as a media player/phone etc. All those capabilities will still be enabled for them.

I mean how difficult would it be to flash a device?

I completely agree. One thing is buy the device for $99 or for $299 (subsidized) and another thing to pay $650 for the unlocked one. This device needs a data plan to have full power on it... so if anyways you need a plan, why not getting the N900 at an attractive price? Advantage for Nokia and N900 users if the device is subsidized, it is more popular, more apps for it...
