yes on the wi-fi - that would be the primary connection to the internet - browsing, skype, etc.

Actually I have no data plan for my N900, I use it only with wifi.

I have a personal wireless network in my house and I also use my University free wifi when I'm there. Works for me!

wow that dell seem pretty cool, but i'll probably still take the n900 if i had a chance.

I love nokia because they always try to give as much features and freedom possible in a device.

Look at this, a real Dell Mini 5. I think this is what many of us wanted a NIT to be. It's easy to see maemo on this form.

For primarily Wi-Fi browsing, I'd look into an N810 and a low end phone combination. Its bigger screen will make the end result better even if the slower processor makes it slower.

Runs Android. I think I'll stick with a real Linux stack :)

[QUOTE=CyberCat;620271..I got the N900 a few weeks ago after owning the N810 for several years....[/QUOTE]

Welcome on board, CyberCat. I have the tmobile 1$ a day plan and it works, kind of slow, but it does work. Dont deal with any tmobile CSR, just go walmart or anywhere buy a tmobile prepay card, then go online, tmobile.com to activate the card and choose data plan. I turn it on when I am out of town and turn it off when I am back in town. I have wifi at my work place as well as at home.

Welcome again,

bun
