I've had my N900 on T-Mobile here in Ohio for about a year now, they provide a decent 3G service. Well, as decent as any of the various providers have seen fit to offer -- if you go any distance from the major cities or highways here, cell phone towers become mighty scarce. Only Verizon has any decent coverage, and even they get really spotty in the rougher parts of Ohio (they're practically nonexistent in the southeast corner of the state, and have gaping holes in the more rural areas elsewhere). So be warned if your university is somewhere in the hinterlands of the continent.
As to buying/selling -- I've been trying to save up enough cash to get a spare N900. So far, good used ones are going for over $200 on Ebay, and there seem to be plenty of them being sold (although a lot of them are shown as coming from Hong Kong; those seem kind of dodgy). I'm not sure how that translates into Nepal currency...

Joseph9560,
I had the N9 in the US in 2009-2010.
I used the N900 all over the US, especially Vegas, I can't complain about it if I tried.
Start a T-Mobile account, it's the only service in the US that supports the N900's bands.
Verizon is the most preferred service provider in the US, but they are a bunch of thieves and don't use GSM phones.
The trip seems to be the most efficient route to Vegas.

I have recently got visa for study at one of the USA universities. I love my n900 and don't find anything that could replace it. Android is still boring and I don't want iphone nor wincrap. But I am unsure if I should bring my n900 with me. Reasons:
1. I am not sure if the US carriers support n900 frequencies (3G, 2G etc).
2. If I am attracted to anything else, I am not sure if I can sell it for prices as good as I can get here in Nepal.
3. I am unsure if there are lots of n900 in ebay and I can buy it for reasonable price if I don't carry it from here.
The lease benefit I can see as of now is it is highly unlikely that I will bring my laptop from Nepal to USA and hence it will definitely be my replacement for laptop for a while at least.
What do you think, should I bring it there?
Any comments/suggestions/replies appreciated.
Thanks!
