Can anyone test it with an AT&T sim and report just how bad is the browsing speed with edge?

I'll post all of my under-one-hour's experience, but the first strongest impression was how multi-tasky the N900 is.
I don't know where the performance starts to suffer, but in my finger-on-screen time and in two days' observing others using it, I saw many, many windows/apps open and never a sign of a slow-down.
I don't expect a pocket device to replace a netbook or laptop, but when I'm using it in lieu of a larger-in-every-way machine, I don't want to keep running into barriers that remind me of that.
The barriers have to be there. But I didn't catch sight of a one. Unbelievable.

Keep that in mind and remember that all devices will slow down if you throw too much stuff at it.
But definitely the hardware in the N900 (and that's the very same that's in the iPhone 3GS) is more than capable of handling real multitasking as we've seen from the videos.

Thanks for those hands-on reports from "real" people. It was really good to read. It just makes me more excited about it. I have already preordered the phone, but have a question I'd like to ask you all to kill the curiosity until the phone arrives.
I use Skype to make calls to other Skype users and land lines. I know Skype to Skype is supported in the contacts view and it looks very easy to launch, but is there a "button" to call a land line through Skype as opposed to cellular?
TIA for any info!!

Had some time with the N900 over the weekend. Beautiful, solid powerful little thing. So much potential under the hood to be the 'smartphone' I've always wanted all my other Nokia handsets to be.

How well does the GPS receiver work in comparison to the N810?

"I’m a bit converned about how much of a dust magnet" <--- concerned
"just subtle enough to hide the scree." <-- screen
"The browser is Mozilla’s Fennec Fox," <-- NO, incorrect. The browser is not Fennec, but is good ole Microb as we've had in Maemo for a while which is based upon Firefox.
Good stuff. Thanks.

They probably need to tweak the code a bit because I've tried the n900 running with a full video and no hiccups with other webpages and tasks open.
