Tmo will not subsidize an unlocked device. Makes no sense from a cost perspective of customer support.

Tmo may offer the N900 as an unlocked, unsubsized product with 20 month payments, but with no warranty.

BTW, unless the rep you talk to at Tmo is an area manager or higher, they know nothing until the public knows within a 24 hour window. They are told the day before public.
