Well, the question that you need to ask is that do you want a phone or an internet tablet with phone features... the N900 has the basic function of a phone but there are a few things that aren't there that a normal "phone" would have... So, think of that before you buy the N900, because if u don't then you will be one of those people that will complain when they get the N900 about it not having enough "phone features"... But to answer your questions Yes to everything.. and reception imo is great!
