Surely the discount you'll get will make up for it.
Nokia could make this all really easy if they'd just give people options. . . .

Then I'll consider the N900 if it's in the same price range.
If the addition of the 3G modem makes it so I have to purchase a cellular commitment with the device like the iPhone.. I will not.
