Then N900 is specifically made for you ^^
wifi is a type of cellular radio, so I guess you refer to something else?
How is Nokia marketing the N900 ? Is it a phone ?
It is sold as a mobile computer with the Internet in its heart, and it was introduced as 'step 4 of 5' for tech leaders / lovers. If you want a mature Nokia mobile phone with extensive Java support and full SIM features then there are plenty of choices based on Series40 and Symbian. I think Nokia has been clear on that since http://maemo.nokia.com was launched this Summer.

Of course, you can always disable the gprsX interface under the terminal, but it's not really necessary. ^^

Does it make sense to buy an N900 to use strictly as a mobile computer (not as a phone)?
Can I turn the cellular radio off, but still use Wi-Fi?
If I'm not going to use it as a phone, does it matter whether I get one that's "unlocked"?
