That's odd, because my T-Mobile SIM is ancient and came with a 2G only device, but it does 3G fine. I thought ALL SIM cards went 3G enabled once 3G handsets came out, as it would cost more to have different types when they are backwards compatible anyway.

That being said, still the best phone I have ever used in my life and I still don't regret the buy, multitasking FTW!

The 'diddy' keyboard though I love, I find it very erm... cute. And I find it very easy to use to be honest! (no I don't have small hands lol)
I do wish the screen and keyboard were a little bigger, but I understand that not everyone is willing to dedicate a huge pocket to it like I can.

I also totally understand peoples issues with the N900. Personally I knew all its limitations before buying, but plenty of people have no way to properly test one before buying it. I have never been able to get a proper hands-on test of a phone before I buy it, even having seen an N900 in the store since I bought mine, I cannot imagine realising all its missing features until you have owned it for a few days at least.

I just hope whatever Meego device gets released next still has a keyboard, as I would consider being stuck with just a touchscreen, even a capacitive one, to be a total PITA. Well quite frankly, I refuse to buy anything without a full keyboard since I got my HTC Wizard (which I might add had the best keyboard I have ever used on such a small device, kicks the N900s *** that keyboard) so if the next device doesn't have one, no sale.
