I spent 20 minutes this morning trying to connect to a Starbucks ATT/T-Mobile site using N810 with OS2008. I have both T-Mobile and AT&T accounts.

If I connected to the AT&T SSID the browser hung after loading 3/4 elements of a page titled "Javascript probe".

If I connected to the T-Mobile SSID the browser displayed the Starbucks welcome page, but the element where I would click to login using my existing T-Mobile User ID and Password was missing. I have experienced the same at DFW airport, and T-Mobile tech support did not know why it occurred or a way to work around it.

If I connected to the T-Mobile SSID and then chose the orange AT&T button I reached the same login page shown in your message. It would allow me to enter my AT&T User ID and Password, and to check that I accepted the terms, but clicking the Login button had no effect.
