She said, you wont be able to purchase the N900 until mid next month (November) but she couldn't tell the pricing at this time. She had no idea of what the N900 was but found it in her computer system and just read back that it was available mid-November.

So, I would go with what the computer says rather than some sales person, a little higher on the respectable level, just above a used car salesman. Plus, mid-November coincides with the release dates that everyone is reporting back on.
I really doubt it, though who knows. I remember a calendar floating around with all T-Mobiles Novemember Releases including BlackBerry 9700, Moto Cliq, Samsung Behold, and a few others. Though no N900 was included.

I really want to try out this phone but cash flow presents a problem. Will T-mobile begin to carry the phone and offer cheaper means of obtaining one?

Doubtful, not to mention the whole point of Project Black was to move away from subsidies (now instead they have 20 month payment installment plans).

I hope they don't carry the n900 because then they'll force us to pay for smart phone data plans.

I don't see any carrier subsidizing this phone. I don't think they want to mess with a phone that has root access right out of the box. I think android is as open as it gets for the carriers.

Well you could always buy it unlocked and unsubsidized and then buy a TMobile plan (and get some free phone).

Take up a credit with good conditions before you buy the N900 and then pay it back month by month when you also pay for your phone plan.
It's basically the same, but might be cheaper in the end, esp. since T-Mobile doesn't force an expensive smartphone plan on you.

If they do subsidize it would make a big difference for the old customers because they would want the customers with this device to switch to the smartphone plan which is 25 for internet and 35 for internet and text messages,
Right now I have $20 unlimited txt and Unlimited Shadow Web and this is working just fine and I tested 3G speed while I was in the area and was getting 2.26 dwnld speed. So no I do not want the subsidy of this device, unless they would not force old customers to switch to expensive plans.
