I don't believe that, tbh. If that was the case, the T-Mobile would most likely be selling N900 directly through their sales channels, not through 3rd party retailers like MPD. Why T-Mobile would ever bother customising/locking a handset they don't actually sell themselves (unless they ARE planning to do so, which might also be the case - who knows)? Also, before I placed an order with MPD, I've called them specifically asking about simlock status, they confirmed there will be no lock on the handset.

Nonetheless, that is getting interesting and I am really curious what the final outcome will be!
