AND.. the 3G only work with T-Mobile, doesn't it?
Never mind. Was reading the wrong part

I have also pre-ordered mine. Along with the free bluetooth and shipping they offered me a second year of warranty for $20, which I bought. Did everyone else get the extended warranty?

If it were "insurance" it would be a different story, of course... JMHO, YMMV, etc.

I think I might opt for the $20 warranty when I buy the N900.

VERY tempted to get this pre-order. Was going to wait until Tmob picked it up, but I have some serious doubts it will be picked up before 2010.
Have to think on it.

Don't believe carriers that say "this is our star phone". That's just like Nokia saying the N97 will be the flagship. Yeah, for 5 minutes.
