Was it only me that saw Tmob doing this, it seemed the only play available to crack the US market.

1GHZ Snapdragon processor with 1GB of total ram, if what I'm reading on that T-Mobile link I previously posted.
All I can say is...
There is absolutely no way I would get that phone or any other phone that runs Windows.
The N900 appeals to me not because of its processor or RAM, but because it is open. I would buy it even if it had inferior hardware (which I do not believe is the case at all). The Nokia NXXX series supports my personal freedoms better than any other device of this type on the planet. There is nothing more important than that (for me).

The screen real estate is nice i agree but way to much phone size (length and width) for my liking.
Of course the real killer for me is the os. I am never going back to winblows mobile.

Wait, so technically the N900 could be modded to allow the processor to run faster?

I was unaware that it was underclocked, most of the things I've read said it was just 600, not underclocked like the iPhone 3GS (833, underclocked to 600).
Also I don't know how to compare speeds between say the n900's chip, to the snapdragon, to x86 (I know that x86 and ARM are different).
But anyway, it could probably be overclocked, at the risk of battery life, heat and melting your device. =P

The OMAP3430 is rated for 600MHz. Even then, locking it above 500MHz is likely to cause damage. The 1GHz number you're getting is about the Cortex A8 reference design, which doesn't tell you much about specific silicon.

Eesh, so it can't even do 600 at all times (if I'm processing this correctly?)
