I'm not worried. Supposedly, the the N900, particularly an unlocked NokiaUSA one, will be updated much like my G1 has. It's FAR more capable now than when I got it on pre-order.

However, I am kinda curious how the change from Maemo 5 to v6 will affect things. Guess I'm gonna find out...

Absolutely. Locked, unlocked - they still get to bill you every month. And if you use an unlocked phone they're not having to finance your subsidy on a locked model while the service charge is the same. Might explain T-Mo's friendly policy toward unlocked phones.

I understand in most of the world no subsidy cost means you get a cheaper rate, but no such luck in the US, No carriers do that here.

at&t does. you can get web for almost $10 if unlocked, $25-30 on a subsidized smartphone.

Just one last Q before I pre-order - It says available in select markets Oct 2009. Does that "select" include those pre-ordered for the USA?

I'm on the fence about pre-ordering. Is everyone pre-ordering because they are worried about nokia raising the price once released? Because the odds of t-mobile launching a subsidized version any time soon aren't looking promising and they're just willing to pay a premium to get it NOW? (i'm in the 2nd group, assuming t-mobile is going to drag their feet for more than a month, of course there's no way to tell anything at this point)

Excellent news about the shipping. And based on what I have read and a conversation with a couple of engineers inside tmobile USA - I dont think we are going to see the n900 for AT LEAST 6 months if at all on the tmobile network USA

@bleomycin: raising price? I've never heard of that happen on any other devices. the only occurence of raised smartphone market prices that i know of is with the iphone, and that's mainly because of scalpers taking advantage of shortage of supplies.

T-Mobile does not offer any pre-paid data plans......only voice.
(Besides the Sidekick plan.)
