So, will the N900 support both WCDMA and TD-SCDMA?

time division duplexing and frequency division duplexing are quite different.
edit:
a quick google search found this:
http://www.theunwired.net/?item=comp...mobile-handset
"While the rest of world uses W-CDMA for 3G services, China decided to use TD-SCDMA for its 3G service with the general problem that not too many TD-SCDMA compatible handsets are available today."

I'm still caught up in this "does n900 use Sim cards" business....
My natural assumption for any mobile phone is that it uses sim cards.... Can anybody tell me of a mobile phone that doesn't?

In what way does your post indicate that the N900 does not support TD-SCDMA? The link you sent me was dated 2007, and about some WinMo phone that China mobile is testing

this link was only supposed to show you that there is no compatibility between w-cdma and td-scdma (otherwise china would not have the "general problem" mentioned.)
and since the n900 specs do not list td-scdma, only w-cdma, it won't work. td-scdma is a different technology, with different hardware.

This is what I was looking for: http://www.tdscdma-forum.org/en/news...ime=2009-10-19.
Unless the N900 has a dual-mode FDD/TDD chipset, then it won't support TD-SCDMA.
TD sounds promising. http://www.tdscdma-forum.org/en/pdfw...7463050335.pdf and with the majority of gloabl mobile subscribers in China.. this may be something Nokia will want to look into over the next few years.
Luckily for me (and others) there is WCDMA access in China (Unicom)... it seems the largest problem regarding the N900 is actaully getting one over here ::thumbs::
