What about transfer between wifi less devices like another cell phone?
You mean via bluetooth? OBEX is not supported. But bluetooth sharing of photos and contacts - Bluetooth Photo Share is free - is out there. I'm not a fan of bluetooth transfers though due to the lack of speed.

I never knew that. So it has a maps application?
Yes, since day one. Lock in to where you're at in under 5 seconds too.

But they are useless to recieve calls because of the lack of multi tasking.
Useless? That's a bit much. I mean, I use them. All of the above have "push notifications" (ok, I do NOT buy into this feature being called push notifications personally) but I wouldn't say useless since I've used them in said manner.

I was talking about 3G bands and as per the apple website there is no support for UMTS/HSDPA 1700 which is the t-mobile band.
Right. But as I was stating, if were to buy the N900 off-contract (is that the right term?) I couldn't take it to AT&T or Verizon... or just about anybody else but T-Mobile.

And that, is quite a limiting feature. Whereas you can jailbreak the iPhone - for instance - and use it on T-Mobile (voice, not sure about data) or other GSM providers.
