Well, to my ears, saying something is a "complete blocker" means that the device is not usable in the US because of that problem. I was taking issue with that. You *can* use the N900 if you are in an area within the US with only AT&T coverage - you just get dramatically reduced data bandwidth, and voice is unaffected. T-Mobile coverage in most large US cities is fine. I don't see how this can be characterized as a "complete blocker". "Minor inconvenience" is more in line with my experience.
