Well, I think everybody meets with the though N900 is not "another" phone, in the sense that it works more like a computer than like a phone, has skype integrated and some other things like flash no other phones have had before. Also, there are some rumours there are operators rejecting to sell N900. But I think, even if all operators finally agree on letting N900 working on their networks, Nokia may want to have everything tied up before releasing the device.
You could also say the iPhone works like a computer, so many phones these days have Skype either embedded into the phone or as a downloadable app. As far as flash, that's the same as if you were watching YouTube off an iPhone or Android based phone. It's still the same amount of data passing through the network. If that was really happening I would assume the HD2 would have more problems then the N900, especially considering it's faster hardware means you'll be able to access data allot faster than anything else ( including the N900 ). Operators are not going to reject a phone that everyone wants, and the reviews are saying is one of the most anticipated devices of the year...from a business standpoint it doesn't make any sense, rejecting something you'll make a ton of money off of...

yeah.. well maybe he has a point.. i mean it is a 'linux phone' kind of.
if all your customers start downloading weird open source programs on the device which drains the battery, crashes the os or what not, what would customer support do? give everyone a new one? selling the phone but not supporting the customer when technical/software issues..?
dont know what their problems or requirements are when it comes down to new phones in their shops.
make a ton of money... or a lot of unsatisfied customers, returned phones, service time covered by YOUR insurance which applies to ALL the phones sold in you store. dont know

Believe me the quality will be there.....and all at quarter the price! I say "bring it on"!

I was on my own when I used my E90 on AT&T, I had to search all over hell to find the appropriate settings to get the text, internet setup. If the carrier isn't getting any money for the unlocked phone you bought then why should they support it, and waste their own money a product they didn't benefit from when you initially bought it ( a cut of the pie if you will ).
