I was thinking its a very good thing Nokia is doing and fantastic news for end users.

Have faith, i cant see Tmobile not stocking this device soon after launch. I think the 1700mhz was used because Tmob was onboard early on with this device and aside from a few tweaks will allow you to use it as Nokia intended.

Im sure Tmob are looking for a way to gain market share against the leaders in the US and see a relaxed approach to handset use in the US as a way to achieve this. Its a differentiator and devices like the N900 (Maemo) are distributive to the current market practice which are often feared by the top heavy.
