If you really want this phone to succeed in the US I feel that you need to support AT&T's network.

with the rollouts of late it is possible that t-mobile will pass AT&T in amount of population covered by 3g in the US, maybe that is the rationale.

With the N900 already delayed why not make changes to support WCDMA on 850 and or 1900 mhz? I would understand the marketing decision to only support 3G on T-Mobile frequencies if T-Mobile was supporting the phone. By not having WCDMA on 850 or 1900 the vast majority of the US land area will not have 3G coverage on the N900. If you really want this phone to succeed in the US I feel that you need to support AT&T's network.

Like the metric system? But I believe Fargus is right to the point with this one, these frequencies have been set as standards around the world to make life easier for consumers, I feel like it's only appropriate that they not waste extra money to customize it for a select few countries out of many.
That said, I do understand the AT&T dilemma because they are beautiful when it comes to voice coverage but anyone could have foreseen this problem a long time ago when they decided to stick with the 850 frequency route. You win some and you lose some...in the case of the N900, AT&T loses it's 3G compatibility since Nokia just didn't want to spend the extra cash.
