Verizon 65.7 million
Sprint 48.5 million
T-Mobile 28.7 million
Going with just T-mobile is a really bad move if they aren't giving you a deal.

I don't have much free time given graduate school and my work with the Federal Government. By the time I'm finished the TMobile 2 year contract would've long been over so I could get another phone and tether it to the n900 if I wanted too by that time. Though there really isn't much in the USA I want to see that I haven't seen already. Chicago, some cities in CA, Las Vegas.
My girlfriend (future fiance
) and I are more interested in Europe (her) and Asia (me) than cities in the USA.

zoom once, and you will see 3G
And they go and sue verizon for "there is a map for that" ad where it clearly states "5X More 3G" what a bunch of *****s wasting their time and money in lawsuit rather than upgrading their network.

@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!

guys, that's the solution: attach a Droid to your N900 to get the best of both worlds

Yes it is a hardware basic limitation as to what frequencies are supported. Things are then refined to a subset of that (including all) for certification. Finally the software uses whatever it wants out of whatever is left.
Are we clear now? If someone can pull a certification for the N900 on other frequencies then it might support this debate if not then it's pointless as at very least you would be operating illegally. Nokia usually make a big thing about having lots of bands on their phones; if a frequency is missing it tends to suggest that it simply isn't available to the hardware.
