I'm not canceling my preorder anyway - I don't want to wait that long for my N900. Actually, I'm hoping they don't subsidize the phone because I don't want to give up my non-smartphone data plan... I'm paying $78 a month *after* taxes for unlimited voice, data, and texting. Not looking forward to a more expensive data and text bundle which is inevitable if they pick up the phone.
Here's what I find interesting, if Project Black gets released tomorrow and they do indeed have the N900 that means they already have it, and also means we should start getting our phones by Tuesday. For $50 unlimited data, sms, mms, voice, OMG, I'll certainly go from pre-paid to contract if it's necessary, but hopefully they'll have that in flexpay because I hate having contracts.

sitting at the bar half lit, but in my mind t mobile will shake it up with at least an attempt at restructuring the price structure for mobile in the us.

With DT and nokia on their side I think they will push lower for unlocked, no contracts, free icoming a la europe.

I doubt they'll subsidize the n900 for that if they're offering the $50 a month plan. that's alot of money to lose just to boost out of 4th place on both the hardware and plans.

Not sure, but they seem to be more open about people messing around on the G1. And it's not that hard to re-flash it either so the only thing you might get stuck with is physical branding (ugh). But on the sidekicks since TMobile controls the servers so tightly for sidekicks they can repush their firmware and all.

Does this have anything to do with the n900 being offered only in black?

Well ofc they're lying it's called NDA ( Non-Disclosure Agreements ), and the fact that the upper echelon of T-Mobile made them sign not one but two NDA's.

I think there is something after I stopped by a T-mobile corporate store and the girl implied something was coming soon (cheap plan).

I have also heard rumors about Best Buy stocking the N900 also. From various post such as this and buy talking with Best Buy staff I know.

Best buy are already taking pre-orders for the phone so I think we can call that confirmed.
