Carriers do the image creation, not the OEMs, in the US.

Did anyone actually read the whole article? It's not about what is wrong with the N900 but what is right. American carriers fear the open nature of the N900 because they can't predict its usage(and ATT was burned when iPhone users started to live on the web). They fear geeks for the same reason. The reference to TMobile states that because they are building out their network and it is not yet clogged with data traffic, they might be able to profitably go after the geek market with the N900.

Download restrictions suck.
Bandwidth throttling sucks.
American carriers suck.

(i know it is pointless to ssh to a machine in front of you, but we are talking about images here)
