It's not only for Indian market, they do have plans for other markets too. But it won't be a high end device, but rather lower midrange.

Not completely sure but maybe on T-mobile you can get 4G using Band 2 (1900Mhz) with this phone.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 12 (700 MHz)
Ideal, really. But when I read the line from Intex: TDD : B40; FDD : B3,B5 Dual Band: B8/B1(900/2100Mhz) GSM: B8/B3/B2(900/1800/1900Mhz) Operating Frequency

That would be nice.
which is a little ambiguous, I'm thinking that by "GSM" they mean just the EDGE and GPRS coverage in the 1900 band, since they list the FDD and Dual-band bands it supports separately in the FDD part. Perhaps this just reflects my pessimism . . . I'm a hopeful pessimist, though. And T-Mo is usually the best bet for imported devices like the N900. (Stupid me for not specifying I wanted a T-Mo SIM when I signed up for a prepaid MVNO plan, so I'd have had best possible coverage for both my N9 and N900)

Still, it would be really really nice if it had a ToH interface of some sort (even if not compatible with the existing one) so that a keyboard could be properly connected to it.

It's not HW that is the problem. We have reached the point in which devices are quite capable for most tasks even if they are a few years old. Just like PC market in the early 21 century. You didn't have to buy new PC every 6 months.
I got moto x play (snapdragon 615) for my wife and have to say that in regular usage it feels equally fast as my 801 tablet.
High end HW means just very high price with not much to give in return.

Because of this, when I take my MVNO AT&T SIM out of my N9 and put it in the N900 (with adapter), it only enables it to operate at EDGE speeds, tops.

I did not do enough research when picking which network SIM I wanted with my service.
