No, because the frequencies will still be wrong.

so there's no hope then unless we switch to T-mobile? Even if AT&T upgrades to 4G?

Even though this is a hackable phone can I safely assume that
its nearly impossible for someone to open the N900 up and actually change the frequency??? Has it ever been tried?

Well unless if you can fit in the N8's chip on the N900 then no it won't work..

the 3g on AT&T is on a frequency that the hardware is completely incapable of receiving.
you would need to like, desolder your frequency chip and put on a new one or some other pretty much impossible way. unfortunately.
I read on wikipedia that there is something called 2.75g. but I dont really tihnk AT&T would go through the trouble to upgrade all the existing stuff to get it.

at&ts edge network is usually qualified as being 2.75g
there is edge evolution out there too. but lets just say...
no, there is no 3g with at&t. no 4g with at&t. nothing beyond edge.
i switched to tmo just for 3g and i will save around $1800 over the next two years on my will and i have an even better plan than with at&t and no contract

AT&T announced a upgrade of their 3G system to a HSPA+ sometime back in May.
Will our N900 will be able to get on 3G under this new network?
