No carrier will work where there is no coverage. It isn't TMobileUSA's fault if you can't get signal in Saudi Arabia any less than it is anywhere else. Choose your carrier based on coverage in your primary areas of settlement.

One overlooked option with the N900's versatility is using Verizon's MeFi personal WiFi Hotspot as your constant data connection and using Google Voice or a SIP calling account for communications. With today's technology, GSM networks are almost superfluous, and becoming more and more irrelevant as we move to make carriers the dumb pipes they should be.

Shows how much I want the other features of the N900 to put up with the weaker coverage of Tmo.

The point is its not a browser issue, its a coverage issue. Evidently, TMobile doesn't have good coverage in yours. If you're getting only 2 bars, and I assume its 3G coverage, that is still pretty weak. Bars are just an indicator, not a measurement, and the same signal could read differently on a seperate device, and two bars on Verizon may not be the same on TMobile.

As I said before, you aren't required to use TMobile at all. Use the personal hot spot device from Verizon and do calling over VOIP/SIP. The N900 can handle it with ease. This goes for all personal WiFi hotspots.
