Does anyone know where I can buy it in Denmark?
I tried ordering it from the Swedish site, but it won't accept my postal code

+1 for your very sane suggestion. The segmentation of 3G technology at all levels of the mobile value chain (OEM's, carriers, retailers) has been rife w/ mis/dis-information for years. "Will this work on my carrier?", "Does this phone have 1700mhz or 1900mhz?", "What if I travel overseas with it?"
Most recent example of this (and relevant to this N900 thread): I rang T-Mo last week just before buying an N900: The Tier3 tech support guy hadn't heard of the N900 but said it needed "1.9gigaherz" to be compatible w/ T-Mo US 3G. When I shared the N900 3G freqs, he check w/ his manager and reported back that the N900 likely has "European 3G" and wouldn't work in the US. When I repeated again the N900 had 1700mhz/2100mhz just like T-Mo US, he checked again with his supervisor. "Yeah, but that's European 2100mhz" he said. "Not American 2100mhz..." What's the difference? He couldn't say. I suspect there isn't one, and he (and his boss) were simply FUD'ing about a 'foreign' device.
Quad-band GSM phones have been around for a while now, why can't OEM's just make 'quad-band' 3G phone and eliminate all the confusion?
And for the record, I've been w/ T-Mo/DeutscheTelekom for over a decade and almost always bring my own phone. When T-Mo established a separate tech support team to help customers w/ non-T-Mo phones, support really improved (for me). I'm curious if Sprint/Verizon/AT&T provide similar support?

That would be ok for me and worth the trip to Amsterdam all alone :-)
(at least better than to preorder - have it delayed - only getting it AFTER the summit...)

almost goes without saying, but it would be so much nicer to have the n900 during the summit.
There is no place like /home.
