When it connects, it's so fun, but seriously when it does not...it's useless. An Internet tablet that does not connect to the Internet is a...$400 tablet. No thanks.

My N800 connects to my personal wi-fi connection at home. But at home I have a laptop. At work where I REALLY want to use it via my cell connection, it doesn't connect (Cingular AT&T 8525). Thus I have to sit in a hot spot. I can't use it on the go as advertised.
Why are you being bounced to AT&T or HTC for a problem with your N800? That's bizarre... are you sure you're getting through to the right people at Nokia or maybe it's one of their third-party support outfits who think you have a phone rather than a tablet.

As for support... to be honest, this is it (this forum, or there is also the "users" mailing list but that isn't as accessible as a forum). The usual solution to problems that can't be solved within a short while is to take the N800 back and get a replacement, and if it's still a problem them maybe it's not for you.

As for your Cingular problem - try reading this thread and see if it fixes your cellular connectivity problem. There is a misconfiguration in the current firmware which is very easy to fix.
