Hi All,

I have N800 with OS2008 and I live in the UK

I use my N800 whenever I get a chance but always via WiFi because my cheapo mobile doesn't do Dial Up Networking (DUN) but now I feel I really want that option too...

I have noticed that there are some excellent deals for Pay As You Go internet access via USB modems the size of a memory stick.

My first (probably over-hopeful!) question is: is there a way to hook up one of these USB modems to the N800 via its mini USB port?

Assuming there isn't (because I didn't find any threads on it) is it feasible to buy an old mobile phone which can do DUN and if so which ones work in the UK? BTW I don't know what EDGE/GPRS and various other codes actually mean.

Finally I would want to be able use my N800 when abroad specifically Italy. Is it easy to get a Pay As You Go SIM card in Italy that allows internet access at a decent price?

Hope someone can help...

Cheers, Tim
