Has your N900 been 'rate limited'?  The default O2-ified firmware for
the Palm Pre has limited the download rate (thankfully there's a patch
to unthrottle it again).

It was bought SIM-Free. So hopefully not. It als runs a standard Linux kernel, so as open source as an open source thing - although I've not looked at the depths of what proprietary code Nokia put in there.
