I share your pain, because even if I don't live in the US, 3G in my country has the AT&T frequencies. Gotta be patient, I guess (even more since I am waiting on Harmattan).

I think with the n900, nokia really doesn't care, so to speak, if joe and mary smith are gonna go to the wal-mart and see that there are not any nokia n900s in stock and be pissed. This is the most expensive device nokia is selling right now and probably one of the most expensive on the market today, so, no, it is not for everybody at all.

quipper8: not if you only look at the MRSP. There can't be any discounts on an unreleased product.
