Please edit the title of the thread to reflect your post.
"Will American N900 buyers be let down by T-Mobile's network?"

If you have great signal in your area, Tmo's price and service makes them hard to beat. Not to mention the nice SIM option. Especially if you go on overseas trips like me.
Just wish my area had better coverage.

Maybe you can tether another phone to your N900 and use the N900 with no service.

Good idea. I am kind of stuck:
Droid & Verizon = Great 3G everywhere and great phone centric device
N900 & Tmo = Weak coverage, but 32gb, FM transmitter, far more efficient OS, tons of video codecs, mini-PC function and better camera.
I choose the N900 and weak ***** (in my area) Tmo.

Or the expensive solution. Get Droid, pay Verizon additional money for tethering and tether it to your n900. lol

I am always hopping back and forth between NYC and Boston, and there is great coverage everywhere with Tmo. Not so sure about less populated areas though.

Though TMobile is slowly getting better at improving rural coverage.

Outside of my house there's pretty much nothing but edge coverage for hundreds of miles. No hotspots either.
