Hi,

It took me awhile (and the latest OS upgrade) to get this working, but now it is virtually flawless. Hopefully I can help you figure it out.

First, are you using Total Internet or trying to use the regular WAP connection? From what I have read, the WAP proxy won't work anymore, tmobile has closed it. I am using Total Internet.

First for the Bluetooth pairing. Make sure you have flashed to the latest kernel. There are some Bluetooth fixes that make this a TON more stable.

Here are the steps I took. From the N800 I turned bluetooth on and made the device discoverable. Then I did the same from the phone. From the N800 search for devices. You should find your phone. Quickly perform the pairing process and you should have a phone connection.

A note: I don't recall if you have upgraded your phone OS. But you should have the latest release from T-Mobile. If you have flashed with Crossbow then you will no longer have the DUN profile and will have use the PAN profile.

Another note: Sometimes the N800 doesn't show the proper services from the phone. There should be SPP, OPP, DUN (see note above if you don't have DUN and have PAN instead). If not then pair again, this time initiating from the phone. That worked for me the one time it occurred.

After you have paired go to the Settings | Connections | Connections on the phone and select Manage Existing Connections. The number for your selected connections should be internet2.voicestream.com. Select the connection and check that modem is 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'.

That's it for the phone side. On the tablet side go to Control Panel and select Phone. Select your phone in the dropdown, then select 'Edit'. Verify the Device Type (should say 'PDA') and the profiles (DUN, OPP, SPP). Note the Cellular Type will probably be blank. That isn't a problem and can be changed with GConf. Close this applet and open the 'Connectivity' one. Select 'Connections' and create a New connection. Note, the Phone Settings Wizard gets this all wrong so don't bother with it. Name your connection. Select 'Packet Data'. Hit 'Next'. The access point name is 'internet2.voicestream.com' and the dialup number is '*99#' The user name is '*' and the password is '*' (This makes a difference). Uncheck 'Prompt password at every login'. Hit Next. Now hit 'Advanced'. Select the Other tab. Uncheck 'Allow plain text login' and 'Use PPP compression'. In the Supplementary AT commands you should enter 'at+cgdcont=1,"ip","internet2.voicestream.com","", 0,0' And hit Ok.

That should do it for you. Change your connection and select the newly created one. Give it a minute during the initial connections. Sometimes it fails because the phone takes too long to respond on startup and you'll need to try again.

Final note: Occasionally the connection will be lost and the N800 will not be reflected of the status. When that happens, I make a phone call and afterwards the state will correct and you can reconnect.

Any questions? Let me know. Happy to help.
