Is there any NAM version (using the 850 MHz / 1900 MHz 3g band) of the Nokia N900 expected? if there is one When will be star shipping?

I ask because in my country (Chile) those are the 3g bands used by the mobile telephone companies. The band used in the current version of the N900 (1700 MHz) is expected to be allocated, but the process is just beginning with the companies operating just in the latter 2010.

The Nokia N900 is a great example of what we and the open source community have been able to achieve with Maemo software. We are working closely with open source developers and for example, at the Maemo Summit in October, we loaned 300 pre-production units to get more feedback from the community. This feedback is extremely important to us and as such we also want to provide the best user experience with the Nokia N900.

We expect it to start shipping during November 2009.
