It appears the new Nokia phones do not have call blocking. So probably a deal killer for me. My 900 doesn't and was hoping the new ones would.

did you say that AT&T and Verizon would "throw a fit"??I don't think this will ever be built in. And the reason is that this is something that service providers charge money for and I believe they would throw a fit if it was in the OS.
All the modern Smart Phone OS's lack this feature. Android has apps that supposedly do it but its pretty hit or miss. You can try doing something like a Google Voice number and then having your calls forwarded from there. But if your number is already out there and its an issue the best solution I ever came up with was to get a new number which I know is not what you wanted to hear.
Every Android phone I have used has it. It is a feature built right into the contacts app. Select the contact you wish to block, and select to have it blacklisted. Though it doesn't technically "block" the number from calling you, it does forward those blacklisted numbers to voicemail without alerting you to the call or the voicemail, effectively blocking said caller from reaching you until you unblock their number. With the right messaging app (there a plenty), you can even blacklist texts.
What phones have you used? I don't think it is built in on standard android, I can't find it in the stock phone or contacts apps on CM10. Could be touch-wiz/sense etc. features.
I know when I used MIUI they had a pretty fantastic phone app which managed call/sms blocking really well. I used it at times to block friends from intentionally ruining sports scores that I had to watch delayed. I assume there would be apps capable of it in the market anyway.
