1) Do as you what you are doing to get web access from your n900.

2) tether to your netbook/laptop as follow:

- install ovi suite 3.1
on your netbook; connect n900 with USB/BT, ovi suite>tool>internet access>GPRS, tada, you now surfing the web with your n900! Absolutely no parameter settings! All other settings, 3G, tmob, ATnT what nots wont work. None of them work. Only GPRS works.

Oh sure, if you know how to tweak your netbook and n900, feel free to hack it wihout using ovi suite. I report it here as it seemed way too easy. I have tried to tether n810 with PC by brute force in the early days and it is not simple.

enjoy,

I agree it is 'better' to buy your own sim card and activate by yourself. Just follow instructions on the card. No need, and better not, to deal to CSR.
