I'm holding on to hope that these AT&T version rumors are true (and I am not in a hurry to upgrade so I can wait if it's coming later).
Well, IIRC Rogers does have some AWS spectrum and plans to (eventually) expand onto it, which would be T-mo US compatible. Not sure how soon or how geographically wide-spread that would be...
And of course, saying you "can't actually use it" is like telling many T-mo USA customers (my town, for example, is EDGE-only for another couple months) and all the original iPhone purchasers they can't use their data connections. No denying that EDGE is inferior, and I'll be plenty excited when 3G arrives, but as someone who uses it everyday, I must say it's a long way from useless. If you can confirm that Rogers will roll out AWS 3G in your area eventually, it could be reasonable to run with EDGE temporarily.

Didn't we ask this "will there be an at&t N900 " question a couple of days ago and the answer was no?
Don't forget that nokia is increasing edge speeds

When I asked about this at Nokia World 2009, it was suggested that AT&T had zero interest in the Nokia N900, thus a compatible variant was not built. Given the mobile internet unfriendliness in Canada (from what I've heard), I doubt we'll see the NAM variant built for Rogers, either.

Maybe the community can keep pushing for an AT&T NAM version, since it looks like T-Mobile is also not interested carrying the N900.

To be honest I am so over the while "3g whooo". 90% of the time the stuff I am doing on the net is background email checking etc and edge is more than sufficient and a hell of a lot more battery friendly. For the other 10% Its usually 8% in a wifi area (I live in rural virginia and even MY town center has wifi free).
To me 3g is more of a catch phrase than anything I cant live without.
Doesn't show 3G sadly.
