I think the N97 was announced in late 2008, and is just now shipping six months later. Hopefully the next maemo device doesnt use the same timeframe.

Well that was with the N97, but the E75 and other phones were pretty quick.
Been awhile since we've had any high end N series announcements huh? The lackluster N86 (which was intitially called the N85 8MP, so more like an N85i) and the N97.
They need to beef up their n series portfolio for smartphones, esp since the smartphone market is the ONLY one expected to grow !

Android won't be ready for prime time until Android 2.0(donut) comes out toward the end of the year.

I'd hate to be the bearer of fun news but tmobile's network has never been anything to write home about in anything but prices. The only reason they aren't the smallest carrier is because sprint has fallen so hard. In other words, its a pipe dream to think that the next tablet will do more. It would need to be the morph concept to generate that kind of mainstream buzz

As for the rest... the Sidekick has done a fine job of finding success on T-Mobile's network. And Android hasn't been hurt by it, either. I think it depends more on what type of audience and deployment they're looking for ... and whether or not AT&T wanted an open linux device in their product line-up.
But, people do need to be aware that T-Mobile's 3G isn't yet nationwide. It's getting there, but it's still EDGE in a lot of places (I get 3G at home, EDGE at work).

Tmobile US 3G is the only kind in the world....so no 3G unless its from Tmobile.
The third one went through FCC approval recently, and has specific support for T-Mobile 3G.
So, it's not that it has to be from T-Mobile, it just has to specifically be for T-Mobile's 3G AWS spectrum. The mis-named "North American 3G" bands aren't what T-Mobile uses for 3G.
