But thanks, good to know; I'll take my 6 year old 6021 to the States. It works a lot better there and on more places than a Verizons 70$ / month contract in a US Palm.
Verizon blocks other providers in the US, while my Netherlands KPN contract logs in with all GSM providers in the US.

AbelMN, I don't see your logic. The N900 was announced with AWS, a nascent frequency only used in the US. It has done something few other manufacturers have done by supporting this new frequency instead of the 850/1900, which is over capacity in the US at this time. 1700/2100 is the fastest growing frequency, and will be in far more places in no time.

Nokia will probably release the N900 in the US first, and even unlocked, it will be compatible with the cheapest GSM carrier, something many have complained about in relation to the NAM models being at&t only.

Of course you pay little for your mobile plan. Your country is probably already blanketed with 3G. America is alot larger land wise, and covering such a large area is costly and not easy. Our carriers have costs other carriers don't have. But the situation needs improving, I agree.
