Yeah but if you want a "good PC", you have to get it from newegg.com, and buid it yourself.
Not too many "brick and mortar" places carrying motherboards since CompUSA closed their bricks.

1. I think ppl here don't value power but ease of use and pretty colors.
2. Most don't even know what Linux is and couldn't care less.
3. T-mobile USA is not subsidizing the phone, which makes so expensive that many don't want to buy it.
4. The n900 is marketed as a tablet, not a phone.

Merge Nokia and /\/\otorola (cell phone divisions) and they would own every market... Discuss.

The N900 isn't a mass market device and NA doesn't follow the same standard as most of the rest of the world so not a fair comparison.

2. Agreed, sadly, but agreed.
3. Well, now you're calling it a phone... T-Mobile doesn't seem keen on selling it as an unlocked-down phone.
4. Internet Tablets... you know, the market Nokia virtually created and cornered up until they decided to create another iPhone wanna-be me-too device.
I think we're on the same page, yep.
The FCC gave the US a far more open market than the Europeans have. You can not only choose different phones with different features, you can choose different carrier technologies. If you think CDMA is a better technology than GSM, you can choose to go that way. You can choose 2, 2.5, 3, or 4G data networks depending on your phone, your location, and your carrier.
The FCC deliberately chose to allow this openness. But this openness has a price and that price is lack of interoperability.
Hopefully there will eventually be a voice equivalent of the Qualcomm Gobi chip (which supports EV-DO/EV-DO Rev. A 800MHz, 1900 MHz, HSDPA/HSUPA 800MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz, GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850MHz, 900MHz,1800MHz, 1900MHz all on one chip).
