That's something else I think we need to tell people who don't get carrier support. The N900 will be able to access the at&t network via tethering one of their phones via bluetooth.

Meh, who cares about T-mobile. Give me the n900 on Sprint, or forget it. :P

Yeah...that ain't happening given that Sprint uses CDMA (I think). Even if TMobile bought Sprint or they merged you'd just have two seperate celluar networks..

(I wonder how hard it is to make a phone with every radio in it)..do those phones even exist?

No. The radios are the most expensive parts of the device.

A recently released phone on Sprint offers both Sprint's CDMA service AND it has an empty GSM SIM card slot. I can't find the model quickly.....
Chinese phones that offer dual SIM cards are popular in my part of the world where many different GSM carriers exist.
.
N900 Tethering:
There is no DUN component out-of-the-box. They say it won't be a problem to implement and the Maemo team has started work on it. It's been covered in a thread here.....search.
Tethering takes us back to a rather inelegant 2-device remedy, but of course it would enable users to achieve 3G speeds on any carrier.

Maybe sometime in the future mobile phones will have SDR(software defined radios), but provide a linux based phone with an SDR and several corporations may explode

there is already one on the market from infineon, but I don't know what devices might be using it yet

http://www.infineon.com/cms/us/produ...17d0c4386112fd

I am sure other chip makers have similar things coming out

Looks like the cognitive radio would be the software to run one or multiple of these type chips.

Check this thread about England's wireless options.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31356&page=3
You guys seem to have many wireless options and some reasonable deals.
.
It does seem like there's a few places in the world that have quite a few different wireless options, with some good deals.
Then there seems to be many places in the world that have at least several wireless options, with some at not too outrageous of a rate.

Then there's the States.....and even worse, Canada.....and Australia.....and....
