I hook the phone up, voice and texts works fine but for data... I get the Tmobile symbol with a little 3G next to it but when I go to click on it, it says "internet connection failed" almost immediately. I came on here and saw the other APNs people are using. (the phone was preset to internet2)

I inputted epc.tmobile.com and connect and it SAYS I'm connected at 3G and 3.5 and does NOT tell me the connection failed (I even get the proper connection icon next to the Tmobile service symbol, but no pages are loading.

So I tried the wap.voicestream.com, connect the phone (everything appears to be good) and then open a webpage and I get this message on a web2go webpage "Subscription Upgrade Required.. Your current plan is not compatible with this device. Please click here to view your plan options."

Do I need to call these peckerheads or am I doing something wrong? Because as far as I understand I believe my Even More Plus plan should work... grrrr

Oh and it may be of value to note that yesterday before I fired up the N900 my SIM was in a tmobile/htc shadow and the internets worked just fine on that.
Elgringo,
TMO uses different APN settings for different phones. The epc.tmobile.com is used for 3G phones like the Android phones and smartphones. It is also the most reliable of all APN settings. wap.voicetream.com will work also if you had the right data provisioning feature on your plan. Basically continue using epc.tmobile.com cuz it works.
