Did anyone else try looking into this? I was wondering for a while if I could get it working, so I grabbed my T-Mobile pre-paid SIM, tethered my laptop to the N900, connected through the regular epc.tmobile.com APN, and used User Agent Switcher with a cheap Samsung T-Mobile phone UA (SAMSUNG-SGH-T239/T239UVIC6 NetFront/3.4 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) on my computer.



Clicked subscribe, and web worked fine, if not a little slow.

With my theory (they only scan the UA) proven, I tried browsing on my N900. Seems they noticed the user agent switch and "cancelled" the plan. No problems, I used an about:config preference to set the Samsung UA on MicroB.



Now I just get this, no matter where I browse to when using the T-Mobile access point. Shouldn't MicroB display xhtml WAP pages normally? I tried installing wmlbrowser on MicroB, but nothing changed.

So my questions are:
Anyone got any further than I did messing with this? Is my MicroB borked? And if so, how do I fix it? :P (removing the useragent pref fixes it, but then it doesn't offer the plan anymore)

(if any T-Mobile people are reading this: I know I'm probably breaking a couple TOS sections, sorry! I promise not to abuse it!)
