Are there FREE hot spots that are easy to find? I mean, who leaves their wireless unpr otected?
It may depend upon where you live. Free hot spots are fairly easy to find in the Seattle area, especially around downtown. Borders bookstores have hot spots, too, but they are not free. Tully's and Panera Bread do offer free hot spots, though.

You can use the Wi-Fi connection setup wizard to find a free Wi-Fi near you. The N800 will show you which connections require keys and which don't.
