I'd say that's the biggest hindrance of them all, that it's T-Mobile only in the US.

I completely disagree with this. CDMA carriers like sprint and verizon carrier lock their users into the phones and voice/data plans they purchase. ATT is a fairly open GSM carrier but there is no difference in price between a carrier locked subsidized device plan and an unlocked data/voice plan.
T-Mobile will shave $10 a month off your bill in their no contract even more plus plan rewarding users for bringing an unlocked phone to their party. They may not have the best coverage but IMHO they have the best policy for an unlocked power user device like the N900.

On topic - great points mentioned by Timwatt, the two things I really miss are sending .ics from the calendar via email and opening .ics directly from a webpage in the calendar. Currently you have to download to device and then open from the file manager.
