Beeeecause the N900 was MADE to work so well with AT&T? Let's hope THIS doesn't become as misguided as Nokia's designing around T-Mobile did, eh?

This is most likely for Symbian^3 apps, not for the currently abandoned Maemo. Well, maybe a Meego app might win something, although I doubt it.

And maybe if we could actually keep the carriers in check, things might not suck so badly in terms of handset options here.

Now all we need is for an upgrade for our N900's so that we can use AT&T's 3G/3.5G service like my trusty E71. My N900 is stuck on 2.5 on AT&T. Is it hardware based or software based ? Ugh, Nokia does it again !

If it runs on the N8, it qualifies. So you can write an app in Qt if you want. It just needs to be published to the N8 apps store. Of course you'd know this if you read the linked page...
