Or, "Why tmobile should subsidize maemo devices".
First off, because I want one but dont wish to pay the full price. And T-Mobile wouldn't have to subsidize the whole price. $199 to $299 would do. In addition to that, maybe they show some love for existing customers by giving them the N900 for a lower price than new customers, which has other advantages as well. Yes, I am a long time T-Mobile customer and enthusiast of Nokia devices.
