Cool. I assumed it would show up about a week after Nokia World (they will get a lot more buzz launching it first in Europe).
I would argue that it is in fact very much a NAM 3G version, just not ATT's 3G (which as a T-Mobile customer, I am thankful for).
If I was going to use ATT as a provider (I don't have any ATT signal where I live), I'd have bought an iPhone by now.

Its up for preorder for $649 and includes a free bluetooth headset. If it follows suit with the N97 and drops about $70 in the next 2 months to $580 or possibly (please) $550, I will probably get it. Although if its at $550 on nokiausa, its probably going to be $500 flat on amazon.com and I'll definitely snag it.
Although if Tmobile has it for $200 or less, I'm switching from ATT.

By the way is it normal in the US for certain 3G frequencies to only work with certain network operators' SIM cards? Seems like another way to reduce competition if so...

In Europe the 3G frequencies are standard across most network operators so you can switch network operators without having to change your 3G phone. That means any SIM card will work in the phone because the phone's frequencies work with any network operator.
