FYI, I'd like to share my experience in accessing Wi-Fi hotspots with my N800 during a recent overseas cruise. Results were mixed. I found free hotspots to be rather rare. I had hoped to find some in order to use Skype to call back to the US.
Virtually all hotels, airports, and other locations had fee-based wi-fi, but I never did find the optimal service or sbuscription plan. Even on the cruise ship, where I did pay for access, Skype would not work. Most websites loaded, and I was even able to listen to a Washington DC news radio station! But, it's no fun to listen long with that meter running!
I welcome comments on finding a useful hotspot service. I looked at Boingo, but couldn't really tell if it would have fit my needs.
