I'm from the UK and i can answer that question (my girlfriend is on AT+T, i'm in the States now so the N900 picks up AT+T, and this thread has all the answers)

1) it's expensive.
2) you get very little for what you pay, compared to tmobile
3) customer service sucks. hard.
4) the N900 doesn't get 3G on AT+T frequencies, so the current tmo users get 3G and when the merger goes through they'll get 2.5G instead, which is ok for browsing but not good for downloads or streaming
