Beside, N900 will still work with the "edge" on AT&T and the Wifi. So Why worry too much. Hopefully in the next 1.5 - 2 years, there is another phone worthy to upgrade.
It's been said that it will be about 12 months just for the main deal to go through. It's a huge transaction. I personally think that it's dumb for ATT to make everyone w/ a 3G phone not compatible with they're network upgrade. They already have (at least perceived) terrible coverage.

However, in regards to the N900, I actually just bought one. I got it last week and yesterday, called T-Mobile to get a plan (I am on Verizon currently). I am on a month-to-month with them now, I was kind of wanting to sign a contract to try to get grandfathered in under an "unlimited" data plan with T-Mobile. But at the same time, one of the main reasons for committing to a contract is subsidized phone pricing.

*side note: LOVING the N900. Don't even have cellular service yet, just wifi, and I use it all of the time. It's rare that I'd spend that much on a device I'd never even seen IRL, it is amazing, finding more stuff I love on it as I mess around with it!
