Any idea where I can have it unlocked like that? Most unlock service only unlocking it from the carrier..

I got my phone from this guy here is the link

I'm not sure if he will do phones he didn't sell, but you can always ask.

OK, I just got a Samsung Sync (not exactly on purpose, check out my blog if you want the full story), and since it has 3G, I'd REALLY like to tether the N800 to it. Reading through the thread, I'm a bit confused as to which "how to" guide I should be reading for my phone and N800. Specific pointer please?

TIA,
Ewan

Re: Best U.S. 3g GSM phone recommendation for the n800

Ok, so i have an option of getting the Samsung Sync or the Razr V3xx. Which one do you guys think i should get? I'm gonna use it for HSDPA surfing on my N800, so i want the best hassle free experience.

Suggestions?

Everything I read was that out of the box neither the 770 nor the 800 can tether via PAN without running this script posted on this board.

This is the script I am using w/ the 770:

#!/bin/sh
PATH='/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11'
BTADDR='Cingular Blackjack Bluetooth Mac Address'
IP=192.168.0.170
GW=192.168.0.1
NS=192.168.0.1
IFACE=bnep0

hciconfig hci0 up

#insmod just to be sure
insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/bnep.ko
#start PAN Bluetooth connection
pand --connect $BTADDR

# wait for the interface created by pand
s=60
echo -n "Waiting $s secs for $IFACE"
while [ $s -gt 0 ] ; do
ifconfig $IFACE >/dev/null 2>&1 && break
s=$((s-1))
echo -n "."
sleep 1
done
echo
if ifconfig $IFACE >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
# bring it up
echo "OK, bringing $IFACE up"
ifconfig $IFACE $IP up
route add default gw $GW
echo "nameserver $NS" >/tmp/resolv.conf.lo
else
echo "Error: $IFACE not available."
fi

I've got a Tmobile Wing that I am trying to make this work on... any pointers for a NOOB??

Re: Best U.S. 3g GSM phone recommendation for the n800

Just download the WM6 DUN cab file from xda-developers and install it on your wing. After that, just go through the standard process of phone pairing through you're N800. I'm using it with my HTC Wizard (EDGE) right now and it works just like it should...

The bluetooth mac is not the one from the phone even though thats the one I've put into the script. (My bluetooth keyboard maybe??) Any ideas?? I do have the DUN cab installed...

Got it working via a much simpler method posted here...

Thanks for the help anyway!

Re: Best U.S. 3g GSM phone recommendation for the n800

Hello, I recently just bought a N800 and am trying to pair it with my blackjack using that linux blog but for some reason whenever i type the commands in xterminal it doesnt do anything. Ive searched on this forum and basically all i can find is saying how you need a script to run it. Thank you in advance.
