Is this because the n900 only uses HSPA & not HSPDA???

HSPDA and HSUPA are a subset of HSPA. Therefore if it has HSPA it has both.

If you're ok using the device strictly on EDGE(GPRS) and 802.11G, it should work fine once you enter your AT&T's APN (Access Point Name). I use my N95 8Gb on T-Mo now and....eh I get by. My main attraction to the N900 however is its multimedia functionality and the ability to port linux apps to it, of course finally using 3G is gonna be the sh*t.

scofflawMike kind of already stated this but if you have a lot of wi-fi access just use wifi and your normal phone plan with your N900.

That is what I am going to do an honestly you will see better performance on wi-fi than 3G.

It's all up to choice and how many access points you have in your area

Yes, I'm familiar with that thread, and I'm not getting my hopes up.

I am stuck with AT&T for a few more months. Then I will likely switch to TMobile.

I don't see any reason for staying with ATT if I get the N900, it's just so slowwwwwww compared to 3G, maybe project Black will place more cell towers...

You must not be in New York or another heavy iPhone area. Many times in NYC, especially in Manhattan, EDGE is faster than 3G.

I've had my N95 longer than the iPhone 3G and 3GS. My anecdotal experience mirrors the data that AT&T's 3G has issues.

Still don't want to switch to Tmobile though.
