When in doubt- DON"T.

Phone function seems to be important to you (N900 is NOT phone-centric), so you may want to wait. Also, if you live in an area that does not have a good signal, or drive in areas a lot that have a weak signal, the GPRS radio on the N900 is weak and you will probably lose data and phone connection a lot.

On the other hand, if you live in an area with good coverage, the actual phone call quality is amazing and the phone function is not as bad as it seems. Then again, if you want a smart phone and do not care about the features the N900 has, there are better options. The N900 is truly a netbook in a phone form factor that also has phone function.

I am hoping the GPRS signal is a bug just like the wifi at default apparently is.
