I like the idea of hspa because then you can use skype anywhere there are carrier hspa data networks. Very smart move by Nokia. I use pay as you go sim cards all over the world and they always have very cheap unlimited data plans with no contract but not cheap unlimited voice pay-as-you-go no contract plans.
Does anyone know if N900 will have two full sdhc card slots??

Oh yeah, and the carriers will forbid you to use VOIP and IM with their networks, like they're already doing these days...

only in us and only with at&t. To be honest I really haven't had that problem abroad. Now I'm not on voip for hours on end. It works good. I just got back from China and I installed a dlink portable wireless in my hotel room and made quite a few skype calls with no problems. The best was Berlin they seem to have blanketed the city with wifi spots. Boingo was there but I used a local provider that charged me 6 euros a day and 15 euros for a full seven days of unlimited anywhere wireless data!

You don't have to sign up for a long-term contract, if that is what you are getting at.
This differs per WiMAX provider though. The same is true for HS*PA, but usually requires a contract.

As VoIP is on the rise, it will change the way we communicate by voice one way or another. The question isn't if. Its when.
Its friday night, your weapon is the N900, start the revolution!

This is also one of the reasons paying per MB should not be accepted by a customer. The 3G network is just connected to a backbone here and there (owned or rented by the ISP) which is then connected to a PoP probably at a IXP. If the 3G provider is also a DSL or cable provider they probably use this very network to transfer the data. No, what they are doing is getting back their high investment costs for 3G (ROI) which in essence is a logical and fair thing (early adopters get **** service, beta test, and pay twice) but the way they do it is not fair. However, because other 3G providers have the very same problem, and the licensed spectrum only has X licensors there is not much competition. Asking customer to pay for an IP range (even /32) is another example or bullocks, and RIPE has declared this illegal, yet European ISPs continue to abuse a shady loop-hole!!
remember, wireless networking have more in common with a hub then a switch...
much like how old school long distance calls would take up one of a limited number of long distance wires, and therefor the telcos would want you to keep the call short so that the wired got freed up for other callers. quick solution, make the caller pay by the talk time.
with current fibreoptics and packet switched networks however...

Heh. A Nokia employee just told us that the N810 has already received two major releases.

btw, most of scandinavia is covered by a CDMA network, exclusively for data traffic.
i was accepted into their testing period, and the usb "modem" they sent over had a SIM slot under a hatch. but it had a bit of foam superglued inside...
could not get a connection while this was going on either, so i returned the kit and have had nothing to do with them since...
