4) Choose "internet connections" -> "Connect Automatically" -> <your_network_cell_provider>
5) At this point, I get connected: I have the circle with 2 arrows appear in my status bar. This means I'm online, even though no program is asking for an internet connection. What happens when you do this?
when i choose settings->connect automatically->my provider - i do not get connected to the internet! what happens is that whenever i go online like for e.g open the webbrowser, refresh the mail client by pressend "send/receive" it goes online and doesnt ask me which connection i want. if i choose settings->connect automatically->always ask, it asks me which connection i want when i open the browser, refresh mail etc.

is my n900 not doing what it is supposed to do or yours/ his? would be nice to hear a third person give feedback

but thats exactly what i chose, if you dont want it to refresh simply choose "never" and it wont go online.

that exactly is my main concern, dont want to be online 24/7 just for the email client because of the battery performance...i want it to go online receive mail and forward it to me every hour, that makes more sense to me.


update: ok, i think i know whats going on... i set the search interval to never under settings-> internet connections assuming that it was searching for wlan (i have no wlan)! upon changing it to every 5 min it immediately went online...

but if its not searching for wifi, what exactly is it searching for every 5,10, 15 etc. minutes??
