Why don't you just buy SIM-free phones?

EDIT: Sorry that was a stupid question, I'll try reading the post next time. :-)

The phone part of it likely will, that I am sure of. It's the 3G part I am not.

If you lived here in Europe I could guarantee 100% that it would work. I do it all the time, I have one SIM card between half a dozen phones and never have any problems.
Cellular phone technologies in Europe, Asia (I am from India) are far, far more advanced than this silly country.

Unfortunately the sometimes rather awful people who operate phone networks in North America seem to put in all kinds of dirty tricks to try and absolutely control everything their users do.
Agreed. I bought a e71-x from AT&T, and within a couple of days returned it and ordered an unlocked e71 from Amazon

There's no such thing as a "stupid question" :-)

Besides, it's kind of hard to get SIM-free phones in this country ..One of the times I wish I was back home !!

Hmmm. Delicious. I have a question....I couldn't find the answer so I figured maybe one of you mavens knew. What is the maximum resolution supported by the n900's external display option? I'm thinking along the lines of if I connected it to a computer monitor and a keyboard.... I seem to remember a certain noBounds project (http://www.internettablettalk.com/20...ounds-project/) that seemed to be implemented on a n810. From what I can see the CA-75U connects via the 3.5mm jack (huh?) and terminates in component video (please tell me if this isn't true).

JayOnThaBeat, are there any phones with better Flash support (I honestly don't know so don't take this as a sarcastic question)?

That's composite plus stereo audio, not component. So, the maximum resolution is 480i/576i.

Sorry, I knew it started with a "c", but I haven't used that or s-video in quite a while. So, next question. Somewhere in the deluge of info, there was also mention of the other method of viewing was UPnP via WLAN. Any ideas what the resolution limit would be in that case? I've seen somewhere (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ti-omap3,4316.html) that OMAP3 supports 720p HD video, but I don't know what implementation that was vs what implementation is in the n900.

I mean imagine, walking in your house and having your n900 automatically connect to your monitor and bluetooth keyboard when you set in on your desk! Yeah? Maybe?

Is that really true? In any case, you'd still have to buy a cellular radio along with this tablet--so there goes an extra roughly $300 you never wanted to spend if you just wanted wifi.

Notable contrast between US and Europe launches - unlocked in Europe with no sudsidised handsets available yet but US seems to be set for subsidised handsets only at first.

That's capitalism for you, I guess.
Capitalism, yes. Free-market, no. I wish people knew the difference more often. I'm at least glad that you, and other people here, know. I do hate the US telco systems right now.

Erm... how is 3G not part of the phone?

Oh wait... do you mean that your SIM card only works with networks that don't use your phone's frequencies?


Cellular phone technologies in Europe, Asia (I am from India) are far, far more advanced than this silly country.
America could be leading the world in mobile technology if they got rid of those tyrant phone network operators they have. The relationship between American phone network operators and their customers can be summed up with a still from Lord Of The Rings:

Amazon Cell phone store is always there for unlocked phones. You will certainly get a bigger selection than the providers themselves ... unless of course its these new breed of "Exclusive only" releases like the iPhone and some Blackberry's.

At brick and mortar, definitely. I don't think I've ever found a SIM-free in a physical store. Over the internet, that's another story, though in many cases (mine included) they're importing so technically they're not in this country. My e51 has some (what I think are) Chinese charterers on the keys.
