What's wrong with EDGE? If it's anything like the iphone wifi will be the prefered data connection as it sucks less power than UMTS.

@Arrancamos: Alright. You figured it out. There were no technical, marketing or demographic reasons. We all tried to trick you but you were too smart for us. Nokia specifically crippled the N900 just so you couldn't use it. Also: They've been following you. Know that car that always parks on the corner of your street for hours everyday? Yup. It's Nokia corporate spies out to get you! Run!

PS: Honestly interested to see if you can find any *currently shipping* phone with quad-band WCDMA...
LoL?
Operating Frequency
- Quad band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900

OK, so you go on the cheap and make your device non functional on the biggest cell Data network in the US? TMO is number 4 in the US, without a deal that move makes no sense to me.
