Wouldn't have bought the N900 if it didn't have a cellular radio. Even if you forget voice calls, chances are that when you just "absolutely have to" check something from the internet there isn't a working/free WLAN available.

Also if it wasn't a cell phone too then I certainly wouldn't have it with me all the time - and that is what makes the device so practical; It's there when you need it with a network connection that works anywhere.
