Just a mention..I'm on AT&T right now myself, and to be perfectly honest, T-mobile can't touch them on coverage, certainly not 3G coverage. But speed...co-worker is on T-mobile, they just turned on 3G here (I'm in Florida), and they just pushed the upgrade. He was getting 5.5Mbs from a bandwith test site. I got 500Kbs from the same site, on AT&T 3G (I currently have a e51).

Have any of you with the unit tested how voip calls do. I personally am interested in calls over Google talk (i.e. voice chat) to somebody on a laptop. But I'm also interested in how the other available services perform. I've used Fring on my e51, and was not impressed with the performance.

If you're on EDGE browsing the web and a phone call comes it, the N900 automatically disables the EDGE data connection to accept the call. After the call, the data connection gets enabled again and you can continue surfing.
You cannot surf during a call on EDGE due to technical limitations of GPRS and EDGE. It's not a fault of the N900.
UMTS/HSPA doesn't have this limitation.

For a smart phone, the battery life is good. I wouldn't have to charge it every day, but I'm doing anyway.

I haven't seen the final firmware yet with some improvements in the E-Mail client. On the preproduction firmware the e-mail gets very slow when you have IMAP folders with thousands of mails. Otherwise for sane
folder sizes, performance is OK, and HTML mail is supported, too.

The screen is transflexive, i.e. specially built for being readable in the sun. So yes, it's clear. Colors fade out in direct sun light, but you can still read what's on screen.

Why does one need to exist? Browser is full Firefox engine. maps.google.com should render nicely on the N900.

I'm curious about this as well. I was considering only getting a data/web plan from Tmobile. I heard there might be one for $10 a month. If this is true, it might be possible using Skype and Google Voice to get all your SMS and voice calling via a cheap data plan on the N900. That would rock to only pay $10 for unlimited data only, and still get voice and SMS.

Try resizing your computer's browser window to 800x480 and you'll see why maps.google.com is almost unusable on the tablets. Too much interface and not enough map.
